Embankment path along the Engelberger Aa

Highlight • Trail

A really beautiful causeway. It's also car-free! On nice days you can practice slalom skiing, as the path is also popular with walkers!

October 8, 2023,Hergiswil – Ächerlipass-Dallenwil Runde

Nice tour from Hergiswil to Kerns over the Ächerli Pass to Dallenwil and back to Hergiswil. Very scenic tour with a wonderful view. There are several cozy places to stop for refreshments on the Ächerli Pass.
Unfortunately everything is on asphalt and there is a lot of road. The Ächerli Pass can also be accessed by car from both sides. …

Since I had been doing a lot of exercise the last few days and was a bit tired, and the wind was blowing on the way up, I decided to give myself a little "turbo gear" for once 😅.

Reconnaissance tour, every year the lady's slipper blooms, the question is when exactly, depending on the weather it could be in about a week.

Fitness tour around the Stanserhorn with a rather slippery but fun descent.
In combination with the Wirzweli Bahn that would be a 🤟🏻 round
Rain, snowstorm and sun, everything was there today.

Really great tour with picture-book trails and a great view.
Just to enjoy, apart from the "evil Alpine farmer" and the carrying section 😉
Unfortunately my speedometer broke on the way and I carried it in my pocket.
That's why the altitude is wrong, it was about 1600 😎

Today's tour has also become a classic for us and, like yesterday's tour over the Eiseesattel, is a permanent fixture in our annual tour calendar. After yesterday's high-altitude tour, our legs were not as lively today and so we took the tour a little more moderately. The sun was also burning down on us almost unbearably on the way up …

Today we're adding another top tour! Definitely one of my favorite tours! At the top of the Arvi you have an incredible 360° panoramic view and a sensational descent of 1,600 meters to Kerns.
The path up there is mostly steep, whether on the road to Wiesenberg or on the gravel to Miserenegg. It gets really steep at Alp Schellenfluh. …
