The Luthern ( Swiss German Luthere ) is an approximately 27 kilometers long left tributary of the Wigger in the Willisau office of the Canton of Lucerne and gives its name to the Luthern Valley ( Luthertal ).
course
The source of the Luthern lies north of the Napf . Especially after thunderstorms, the river is first a thundering mountain stream, which overcomes a height difference of 450 m over a distance of 2.5 km. Then it reaches - always flowing northwards - as the first larger settlement the district Luthern Bad (855 m high; 4 km south of the village of Luthern ). During the first 6 km it takes in several small and large streams from the side valleys. The most important, almost all of which flow from the left, are the Längenbach , Wilmisbach and Walenbach . Only the Spitzweidbach and the Wissenbach come from the right .
The rear Luthern Valley and the side valleys are heavily forested, in the higher elevations there are also some Alps. In the last few decades, the forest area has increased significantly, a development that began at the beginning of the 20th century when the government bought up many small farms in the back of the municipality and reforested the sometimes barren pastures. The clearing areas still predominate further north . Without changing its northern direction, the Luthern continues through the district of Hofstatt (2.5 km north of the village; 705 m), Rüediswil (3.3 km north; 696 m) to the Schachenfluh (683 m). Here is the deepest and at the same time northernmost point of the community of Luthern. In Hofstatt the Ellbach joins the Luthern from the left . The Ellbachtal (also called Flühlental) is a western side valley of the Luthern Valley. In this valley lies the hamlet of Flühlen (2.5 km northwest of Luhern Dorf; 772 m). North of the Ellbachtal, on the other side of the hill, there is a parallel valley. This is called Warmisbachtal and is completely forested in the upper reaches (Hegenwald). The Warmisbach forms the north-western boundary of the municipality.
The forest area, which covers 47.5% of the municipal area, and the agricultural area with 47.8% are the same size. In addition, 3.5% of the village is settlement area. The Luthern continues through Hüswil, Zell, Briseck, Gettnau and Niderwil to Schötz, where it was expanded in 2010. At Nebikon it finally flows into the Wigger .
