A simple gravel path along the Engelberger Aa. Not very wide, but wide enough for an easy encounter. Very beautiful view of the surrounding mountains. And the Aa is there too. It is also very beautiful to watch these masses of water rolling towards Lake Lucerne.

This is the Engelberger Aa. Riding along the bank is always a special moment, the sunbeams bathe in the Aa, you hear rushing water masses gliding by. It's always nice to stop too.

Junction, at the Aawasser Damweg. A somewhat unusual place, but we find crosses everywhere people also move. Stop, pause.
