Nice hike on the Napf. The (strenuous) climb is worth it. When the view is clear you have a 360 ° all-round view. After the hike, you can treat your arms and legs to a Kneipp treatment at 6 ° C in the power place Luthern Bad. Very refreshing.

The path over the Trachselegg is steep and rocky from the middle of Ey, the descent over Niederänzi Badegg is less steep. The Napf is always a pleasure, and the pilgrim fountain in Luthernbad is fantastic

August 1, 2025,"Ämmital" Napf - von Luthern - Bad

Today's start is in Luthern Bad – where others go to the spa, I'm going uphill – and steeply so... The path takes me gently along the stream at first, then a little less gently 🥵 over hill and roots towards Trachselegg. Shortly before the viewpoint, I come across a massive boulder. An impressive piece of rock, presumably deposited here …

Easy and promising hike from Lutheren Bad to the Napf and back again on a different route. There are other ways from Lutheren Bad to the bowl - and thus many possible combinations 😀
