Napf is alive in the heart cycle
Cycle around Napf in three phases – the Napf heart cycle invites you to do just that. As you pass through the Lucerne hinterland, the Lucerne Entlebuch and the Bernese Emmental, it is a special treat to explore the Napf region, bathed in golden light, with its beautiful scenery and charming little villages on two wheels, especially in spring. You can also rent an electric bike if you prefer: for a successful combination of sport and relaxation in the middle of a truly wild, traditional region of Switzerland. Back at the starting point at Willisau LU, the circle closes – correspondingly the famous Willisauer Ringli can be tasted at the Hug as a reward.

On the way to ViaSpluga
