Lucerne - Rüeggisberg
The short section of the Way of St. James from Huttwil to Dürrenroth can be completed effortlessly in 1 ¾ h.
We leave Huttwil at the village of Fiechte and pass this sawmill. The smell of fresh wood is wonderful.
After crossing the small Rotbach stream, an ascent begins (approx. 100 metres in altitude).
We pass an old farm.
From now on, the path goes through a beautiful forest.
Here at Chaltenegg (762m) a view of the Jura opens up.
On the other side you can still see Mount Pilatus.
The descent to Dürrenroth begins.

Entrance to the Bären Inn
In the garden of the Bear we enjoyed the afternoon coffee.
This is how festive it looks in the dining room of the Bären.
After all, the Bären is an architectural monument of national importance and has been designated a historic restaurant under the patronage of UNESCO. It dates back to 1752 (Gasthof), 1806 (Gästehaus Kreuz) and was the place of work of the Emmental writer Jeremias Gotthelf.
