On entering the village, take the road that leads off to the right up the hill to the Brästenegg. After 400 metres or so, you turn left. Passing the Burg Chapel, you come to Wyher Castle.
Passing the castle, you cross the cantonal road. Some 300 metres further on, you come to the Buchwald educational nature reserve.

Author´s Tip / Recommendation of the author
- Buchwald educational nature reserve: you might like to pause here a little longer to explore the fauna and flora of this miniature natural paradise. It is also possible to picnic here.
- Agrovision organic visitor experience: visit the modern farm with its cattle stabling, enclosures and children’s playground. A farm shop and restaurant are part of the attraction.
- Agricultural Museum, Burgrain: this 2500 m2 attraction demonstrates how life has changed for the farming community. A number of the artefacts show the extent to which agricultural technology has evolved.
- Kastelen Castel ruins: the castle dates from the 13th century. You might like to walk up the hill to what is arguably Canton Lucerne’s most magnificent ruins. The tower contains a viewing platform providing a good view of the Napf mountains.
- Willisau: with its historical sights, the little medieval town of Willisau merits more than a cursory visit. With its seven-sided fountains, two town gates and welcoming restaurants, the old part of town exudes a particular atmosphere.
