Napf - Lüdernalp
Description
From Langnau, the route first follows the Ilfis to Trubschachen, from here up the Fankhusgrabe to the Mettlenalp restaurant. This is where the steeper section of the ascent begins, leading up to Stächelegg and finally to the Napf summit restaurant. The first descent begins. This leads along the southern ridge path via Grüebli to Fankhaus, where you have already passed through on the ascent. Instead of rolling back to Trubschachen, you now set off on the additional loop via Lüdernalp. Via Brandösch you climb up to the mountain ridge at Stauffenknubel and follow this to Homattgätterli. Follow the western ridge of the Geissgratflue to Lüdernalp. Now, too, you always stay at altitude and follow the ridge between the two Frittebach trenches. This takes you to Obermatt on the outskirts of Langnau.

A very beautiful and varied tour. It has a bit of everything... crisp climbs, technical descents, flowing trails and fast forest roads. You have to descend in two or three places, but this is not a problem. There is no more danger of falling than anywhere else in the mountains. In spring, nothing is overgrown and there are only a few hikers. It's not a tour for those who like warm weather and is probably a bit tiring on an e-bike.
The descent from Napf to Fankhaus is very difficult in places (S4) and exposed (risk of falling). In the traverse from Heugrat to Staufenknubel, the path is very overgrown and boggy and therefore not easy to ride. The trail from Hohmattgätterli to Lüderenalp would be great, but unfortunately it is forbidden to ride there and there are a lot of hikers on the trail. The tour is very scenic, but not recommended for the reasons mentioned above.
