Description
The route starts in the "Best Tourism Village" Romoos in the UNESCO Biosphere Entlebuch and follows the well-marked bike route 812. Initially, it goes on a quiet side road towards Grämse, then continues on a gravel road to the highest point of the route: Holzwäge at 1,081 m above sea level. The cozy Beizli invites you to take a break with a fantastic view.
From Farner, the descent becomes more varied again. You leave the asphalt road and follow a meadow path, which soon turns into a shady forest path with dense woods. This section is steeper and strewn with larger stones. A technical challenge that is worth it. Here a real natural spectacle is revealed. The path winds through an impressive gorge shaped by the Nagelfluh and a small waterfall.
Soon after, you reach the lowest point of the route, where two streams have deeply carved into the Nagelfluh. An ideal moment for a short break and exploration of the riverbed, because Romoos is known for gold panning.
After a final ascent, the path leads back to Romoos. If you like, you can stop at the Hotel Kreuz and enjoy a genuine Entlebuch specialty and even recharge your e-bike battery.
