This pleasant hike leads out ofthe valley along a narrow path,winding along the edge of thewoods until you reach the littlechapel – visible from a goodway off – next to the Schwandguesthouse. This is a wonderful place to stop for a rest. Youhave several options to choo-se from for the return journey.Probably the nicest variant which does include a few extrametres of ascent – leads youacross the Bergli and to the Flühmatt restaurant, where you can enjoy possibly the best Älp-lermagronen in Engelberg on the sunny terrace.

 

Author’s recommendation

A refreshment break at the Schwand inn or Flühmatt Restaurant.
