Wonderful round trip from Escholzmatt☺️

Whether by bike or on foot. A stopover in the Sagewald adventure playground is a must for children. Or even a day trip. I speak from my own experience. With a fire pit with existing firewood, table and benches, lots of play equipment or play options in the middle of the forest. There is a public toilet nearby.
