We leave from Luthern Bad and climb to Nideränzi (1’233m) where we reconnect with Route 3 (coming down from Napf). We then walk the high route to Lüderenalp with amazing views on one of the most beautiful and popular hikes in the Emmental Valley. We past various small farmsteads, alps and woodlands and we pause for lunch around 12:00 at Lüderneralp (end of the official stage 14).
After lunch we continue on Stage 15, through the heart of the Emmental via a long mountain crest with scattered farmsteads and varying views down into the wide valley of the Grosse Emme, and we finish in Langnau im Emmental.
