Behind the Hotel Terrace we go up to Waldegg and Grüss. On a beautiful forest path and Alps you come to the Schwand. A rapid downhill to Kneubos/Ghärst from where you return to Engelberg on the student trail. At Oelberg you reach the Galgen-Kappeli from where you have a wonderful panorama (Hahnen, Spannörter, Titlis).
