Switzerland’s largest moorland landscape is located above Sarnen in the Glaubenberg-Langis region. The best view of the raised bog is from the Bäerenturm, which stands amidst a canopy of spruce trees. From this platform, you can admire the mosaic of raised bogs, fens, and bog forests. At ten stations along the trail, fascinating stories about the moors await listeners of all ages. You can find more information about the Moor Trail here.

Author’s recommendation

The Schwendi Kaltbad mountain restaurant serves excellent local delicacies. It's definitely worth a visit!
