Luzerner Hinterland

The Lucerne hinterland is a lovely area that few people know about. It is the perfect starting point for interesting bike tours without having to have a lot of suspension travel, fat tires and an experienced riding technique. The suggested circular tour rides from Hochdorf to Sins, along the Reuss to Emmen and back from there.

Description

The tour starts in Hochdorf, but can be started from any other location along the route. Lucerne is also a good starting point. From Hochdorf, the route initially heads up to Hohenrain, then on to Abtwil and finally reaches the Reuss at Sins. Now follow the river bank upstream to Emmen, where you pass the airfield and follow the Rotbach stream to Rothenburg. Country roads and country lanes take you back to Hochdorf via Rain, Hildisrieden and Römerswil.

To the author: The area described is called Seetal / Freiamt and not Luzerner Hinterland. This also exists, but is located in the Willisau region.

Here, it's more about the seat than the suspension travel. Easy to ride but many and sometimes bad-tempered dogs.
