Hint

Intro

The Napf peak at an altitude of 1406m is the highest peak between Emmental and Entlebuch. There is no road or railway access to the summit. The cosy summit inn can be reached on foot or by mountain bike.

Description

The Napf is a steep ridge formation created from millennia of alluvial deposits by the nascent Aare River on its path down to the Swiss Mitteland. This movement also brought gold down from the Alps; minute slivers can still be panned in most streams.

The panorama extends from the Jura in the north up to the Bernese Oberland in the south, and as far as the Alps of Central Switzerland in the southeast. The many rock faces of the Entlebuch Mountain form a stunning backdrop of austere beauty.

Short hikes to the peak start at Mettlenalp at the far end of the Fankhausgraben (via Trubschachen) and at Hinder Ey at Luthernbad. One of the most popular Emmental hikes with beautiful scenery is the trail from Lüderenalp to the Napf.
