Biosphere Reserve Entlebuch

Few other regions have as many natural resources as the "Wild West of Lucerne". The Biosphere Reserve Entlebuch unfolds a mystical world, from pristine moorland landscapes to idyllic alpine meadows, over which the Schrattenfluh and Rothorn mountains tower majestically. The UNESCO Biosphere Entlebuch is a significant feature of the canton of Lucerne's south-western region.

Entlebuch is a UNESCO model region that represents the pre-alpine moor and karst landscape in the world's network of around 580 biosphere reserves. Entlebuch is the world's first biosphere reserve created through a local referendum. Moor landscapes of national significance cover more than a quarter of the area of the Biosphere Reserve Entlebuch. There is no other place in Switzerland with as much nationally protected moorland in such a small area as Entlebuch.
