4 Days Hike: Zofingen - Burgdorf - Langnau im Emmental

Stable warm weather for a couple of a days, and so I took the opportunity to hike a flat pre-alpine forest/meadow trail from Zofingen (or Olten), Langenthal, Burgdorf, and from there I would decide further, and went into the Emmental along the Emme and Ilfis to Langnau im Emmental.

Took the train to Zofingen via Lucerne, arrival 12:30.

Some distances:

Zofingen - Olten 3h 15m
Zofingen - Aarau 4h 10m
Zofingen - Mittel-Muhen 3h 10m
Zofingen - Lenzburg 7h
Zofingen - Koelliken 3h
Zofingen - Schoeftland 2h 40m / 3h
Zofingen - Murgenthal 2h 45m
Zofingen - Sursee 6h 10m
Zofingen - Grossdietwil 4h 30m
Zofingen - Aeberdingen 2h 30m
Zofingen - Balzenwil 2h 10m
Zofingen - St. Urban 3h 15m

Passing through Zofingen and ascending a bit on a small hill and entering the first forest section, a nice shade as I hoped for. Reaching St. Urban, and short before Langenthal I stay in the forest - one of the most beautiful forest spots I ever pitched my tent - the entire ground covered by moss, mild temperature, a small brooke nearby but not too humid.

Good night sleep, the sun shines through the trees unto the tent, late leaving 9:30 - entering Langenthal and shopping for food the next day as well, as most shops will be closed May 1st. Passing Langenthal which stretches quite a bit, heading direction Wynigen - and I spot the Jura ridge on my right-hand side now and then again. This day drags a bit, it's warmer, and less shade by forests, eventually about 1hr before Burdorf, at the Fueuestleberg I find a nice spot to pitch my tent - so this was a long day, apprx. 8hr hike day; no doubt I'm tired.

Very long and deep sleep, and I feel 100% refreshed, also I had sufficient water to drink - that helped. Soon descending into Burgdorf, a nice city - and stay on the side of the river Emme (don't enter the city itself) beside the castle of Burgdorf, and stay on the right side of the Emme - beautiful sceneries, and nice shade from the forest along the river.

Some distances:

Burgdorf - Gerlafingen 4h 10m
Burgdorf - Affoltern i.E. 3h
Burgdorf - Lueg 2h
Burgdorf - Wynigen 2h 25m
Burgdorf - Luetzelflueh 2h

After Luetzleflush near Ramsei I find a nice spot close to the river, near the hike trail - shorter hike today, ~5hr hike.

Good sleep, and stay in the tent until 9:30 again, but then continue along the Emme, and then along Ilfis (a side-river of the Emme) toward Langnau im Emmental, where this hike ends ~12:45.

The temperatures of the past days were 8-10°C at night, and 22-28°C at day - max 20°C difference in-between, the warmest being the last day of the hike - feels like summer, but it has been beginning of May.
