From there, the hiking trail leads through alpine pastures and forests in wild nature up to Kernalp. At Kernalp Lake, a beautiful picnic spot awaits where you can rest and recharge. The highest point with a summit cross offers a wonderful view of the Engelberg valley. On the partly steep descent down to the Bielenbahn mountain station, a waterfall, a barbecue hut, and beautiful flower meadows await you.
