A hike with a marked ascent and descent through a primeval mountain pine raised bog on a long ridge with wide views of the Alps awaits you on this stage of the Moor Landscape Path.
Special in the moor landscape is the Chessiloch with its impressive waterfall and suspension bridge. With the longest suspension bridge in Entlebuch, the hiking trail is ideally connected for a short detour. In Bleikebode, the species-rich fens are an eye-catcher as valued litter suppliers. And of course the Haglere (viewpoint) with the mountain pine raised bog forest, a 45-hectare nature reserve by Pro Natura. Here you walk through one of the largest and most beautiful raised bogs in the Entlebuch Biosphere. Take your time and observe the gnarled mountain pines. The dead trees provide food for many animal species. The path is soft, moist, and in many places the brown peat layer is exposed. Take off your shoes and socks here and walk barefoot for the next kilometer. A detour to the Haglere cross is highly recommended - the view is phenomenal, and also impressive is
the 700-meter long border wall.
After the detour to Haglere, you head downhill. Here you encounter the last moorland of this stage, the Mittlist-Gfäl fen. Besides the typical fen plants such as orchids and cotton grasses, wild chives also grow along the path here. Try a small piece of the violet flowering plant and compare the taste with that of garden chives. Caution: a similarly looking, protected orchid also blooms here. In early autumn, the moor is cut with a light mountain mower and scythe.
Via Alpweid, you hike into the village of Sörenberg, the destination of the last stage. Here you deserve a cool beer, fresh iced tea, or a fine dessert!
