Section 27 Willisau–Huttwil

The route between the Luzern hinterland and the upper Emmental region of Bern leads over hills, apart from today’s traffic stream, to Ufhusen and Huttwil. Worthwhile detour to the Jakobskapelle (St James’ Chapel) in Bösegg with a portrayal of the «Miracle of the Gallows».
