The Lueg is a hill in the municipality of Affoltern in the Emmental, with the viewing point of the same name at an altitude of 887 meters and a monument. The Lueg monument was erected in 1982 in memory of the Bernese cavalrymen who died of the Spanish flu in 1918.

A visit is particularly worthwhile because of the wonderful view over the hilly landscape of the Emmental and the Bernese Alps. There are also a few benches and a nice barbecue area, which practically calls for a cozy picnic afternoon. It is probably also particularly beautiful here at sunset.

The restaurant invites you to linger, there is also a hotel and the Lueg Arena. It is also called the center of Swiss folk music.

The so-called Heiligenlandpöli is the highest point in the municipality at around 890 meters and used to have a so-called Hohwacht, on which an alarm fire could be lit in the event of war.

The Lueg pass connects the Bernese Mittelland (Wynigen) and the Emmental (Affoltern im Emmental).

A trip to the Lueg can also be easily combined with a visit to the nearby Emmental cheese dairy in Affoltern.

As a reward for the climb you get a meringue with ice cream...
