Switzerland’s first biosphere reserve offers natural beauty at its finest. Almost no other region in Switzerland has as many natural treasures as Lucerne’s “Wild West”.

Safari made in Switzerland! Early birds can start the day with a search for wild stags. Wildlife ranger Daniel Schmid and his loyal four-legged friend skilfully guide participants through the forest to the open field. This is your best chance of spotting a couple of bellowing stags. Even if luck is not on your side, you will hear plenty of expert knowledge about the king of the forest. And the outing is always worthwhile thanks to the impressive karst landscape.

The Sundew Trail, which is part of the Mooraculum adventure park on the Rossweid in Sörenberg, has 17 adventure stations that will transform children into little moorland experts. All of this is achieved in a natural way that makes learning fun. The colourful flora of the fens is quite enchanting and the atmosphere truly magical. Families can experience part of the largest moorland in Switzerland with all their senses. What does the moss feel like? What does it feel like to walk barefoot over different natural materials like wood or sand? The Sundew Trail ends at the adventure playground, where the raft and other play equipment beckon.

While the little ones let off steam in the playground, the grown-ups can enjoy an aperitif on the terrace of the Rossweid adventure restaurant, marking the start of the gourmet circular hike, which has something for the whole family. Once the children have gathered, it is an easy hike to the next stop.

The Salwideli-Beizli serves the first course – a starter with regional ingredients from the UNESCO Biosphere Entlebuch. Increasing regional added value was a central goal of the UNESCO Biosphere Entlebuch right from the start, making developing a local brand with raw materials and produce from the region the obvious step.

After a further short hike (approx. 1 hour) , there is room for the second course – cream schnitzel with side dishes at Hotel Rischli. Here too, the focus is on local produce. Typical Entlebuch in fact.
