When you step onto the nature trail you can marvel üat the wonders of nature. The hiking trail revolves around the history, rocks, animal and plant world, and alpine farming. The pleasantly walkable circular trail in the midst of the Engelberg high Alps combines active recreation with the opportunity to learn a lot of interesting things. Due to the easy walkability of the nature trail and the variety of water, animals, and flowers, the hiking trail is interesting for children and adults.
The circular route starts directly at the mountain station of the Fürenalp railway
