Hooded beach chairs by the sea of mist in Menzberg
A trail leading to seven beautiful locations
The idyllic village of Menzberg in the Lucerne backcountry is the highest village by Mount Napf at 1,016 metres above sea level, and will take your breath away with its unique 360° panoramic views. During the autumn and winter months, it often sits regally above the sea of mist. Stories and music await you in beach chairs at particularly beautiful vantage points. The program features village stories, legends, and children's stories. Local music and singing groups provide musical accompaniment for the performances.
Travel comfortably by train to "Menznau". Continue with bus 261 to the final stop "Menzberg, Dorfplatz". All trails start directly at the bus stop.
The «Sternwanderung» (star walk) with the 7 hooded beach chairs starts in the village of Menzberg and ends at the Buchensäge post bus stop. The walk takes 3 hours (without a break) and is 10 km long. The stories in the beach chairs take about 7 minutes. The walk is easy, but is not suitable for wheelchairs or pushchairs.
The walk can be individually shortened to 3 or 6 beach chairs starting and ending in the village of Menzberg (refreshment options):
Tour 1 for 1-3 beach chairs: 1 hour without break, 3.5 km
