It is diverse to view the cantonal capital from different sides.

The two-hour hike is signposted as "Around Stans" and leads through neighborhoods, past charming farmhouses, and to the romantic viewpoint Hueblimatt. To recharge for the hike, on Saturday mornings from late April to early November, you can visit the Stanser Wuche Market.

Directions

Stans station – Waechselacher – Wirzboden – Huebliegg – Stans

From Stans station, first head towards the plain into the Waechselacher area. Then into the Niederdorf and almost to the Ländlerpark shopping center. From there, through the neighborhood to Ennetmoserstrasse and west of Wirzboden, immediately up the slope, past the flood protection structures, up to Ober Hostatt. Then follows the panorama section above the village to Chlostermatt and Huebliegg. It's no coincidence that many small benches stand here. On Huebstrasse, you go down to Heinrich Chapel and then to Wilerrank. Finally, on a narrow field path, back to Waechselacher.
