Theme hikes

Excitement, adventure and perhaps learning one or two things at the same time? This can be found on the theme trails around Engelberg. Go on a treasure hunt on Brunni or Trübsee or enjoy nature under your feet on the barefoot trail.

    The mountain plants are exposed to extreme living conditions in the alpine mountain world. At higher altitudes, summer is very short and the plants have little time to bloom. On the newly created alpine flower educational routes at Gerschnialp and Trübsee, visitors learn about various alpine flower species and their living conditions in an uncomplicated way. Surrounded by an impressive alpine mountain and glacier world, hikers can inform themselves about the alpine flowers found here using yellow panels.

    Author’s recommendation

    On each flower panel, you will find a 9-digit number code. An information sheet explaining the meaning of the codes is available in the flyer "Code key".

    Tips and suggestions

    You can also combine both alpine flower routes. Either walk the stretch Obertrübsee–Untertrübsee on foot or take the cable car "Älplerseil". The ticket for the ride with the "Älplerseil" is included in the Engelberg–Trübsee mountain railway return ticket.
