Tips from the Community

Mattia Pastore
April 30, 2026, Schmugglis Sbrinz Weg

The current Sbrinz cheese used to be transported from Lucerne via Engelberg towards Italy and exchanged there for southern delicacies such as olive oil or red wine. The smugglers Engelbert and his mule Schmuggli show you on Schmuggli's Sbrinz Trail how they try to solve six tricky riddles between Trübsee and Alp Untertrübsee, while remaining undiscovered by customs officers and witches. The trail is a great way for families to spice up the hike from Trübsee to Engelberg. Prizes can be won with the correct solution word: https://www.schmugglis-erlebniswelt.ch/de/sbrinz#start
