Willisau Tourismus Verified partner 

The Willisau region stands for the untouched nature in the Napf region, the vast plain of the Wauwilermoos, and the diverse rural landscape with countless farms and charming villages.

The Napf area is a sparsely populated hilly and mountainous region on the border between the cantons of Bern and Lucerne. The Napf area is known not only for the breathtaking panoramic views but also for mystical legends and stories. From the summit of the Napf, which is at 1406 meters above sea level, deep, steep gullies radiate like a star into the valley.

On one of the numerous bike and hiking trails, you can explore the area excellently. There are also numerous cultural opportunities, whether jazz festivals, Christmas markets, or voice festivals, there is always something happening in the Willisau region.
