This route takes you from Grafenort over the Nidwalden mountains and past the Lutersee to Engelberg.
The start of this route is at Grafenort station. First, you walk along a flat forest path along the Engelberger Aa to the valley station of the Buiraebähnli, which takes you to the Rugisbalm. From here, you can also use another little train to spare your legs for the further ascent. After covering the first approx. 800 meters of altitude by train, you continue under your own power to the Lutersee. At the small lake, a picnic is recommended or you can descend a little towards Zingelalp, where a beautiful rest area with a great view and a cool drink awaits you. The further descent goes down a narrow forest path, which requires some concentration, to the Arnibach gorge. A farm ice cream from the farm shop Aeschboden sweetens the last stretch of the way to Engelberg station.
