The King of Trees at Lueg

Highlight • Natural Monument

You look up in awe at the king of all trees. From his throne, he watches over his most obedient subjects and has the Lueg and large parts of the Ämmital firmly in view.

Lueg Viewpoint

Highlight • Viewpoint

The Lueg is a popular destination in the Emmental. Especially in winter, when you've had enough of the grey fog in the Mittelland, you can often catch a few rays of sunshine up here.

View of Die Lueg

Highlight • Viewpoint

The Lueg is also suitable for those who are not so fit, as the landscape is very beautiful and is never longer than 1 kilometer uphill, a bit frequented on weekends, but the view is just awesome!

Rotenbaum

Highlight • Viewpoint

Rotenbaum is on a connecting path from the Lueg to the Zeitlistal. The path is paved and therefore easy to walk on, but is also used by cars from time …

Beautiful Ascension Day tour within the municipality of Heimiswil. The sky was slightly overcast at the beginning and the sun came out towards the evening. Absolutely ideal for hiking! Unfortunately I didn't take any photos 😉.
