Herzschlaufe Napf Etappe Entlebuch - Willisau #399

Starting from the tranquil village of Entlebuch, the route soon nestles into the wild labyrinth of crevasses and ditches. In Romoos you can still enjoy pre-Alpine hospitality, followed by endless passages in which you can travel alone with the landscape, individual farms and a lot of views. The route drops abruptly to find itself in the small Fontanne, a gully with Wild West flair. In this gorge one meets gold seekers, mushroom pickers and intrepid Herzschlaufe guests who grill a sausage in the creek bed. The ascent to Menzberg requires some strength, but also rewards with a new altitude experience, this time within reach of the Napf main ridge, which you never reach, however. This hilly beast with its hundred ditches is too tangled. It is also one of these that swallows us up again after a roaring descent and leads us uphill once more, this time to the heights of the Luthertal valley, which guides us gently in the direction of Willisau.
