The valley narrows and the surface changes to gravel after about 1.5 km. It steadily climbs past Herrenrüti and the Alpenrösli restaurant on to the Alpkäserei/Mountain inn Stäfeli. At Alp Stäfeli, the gravel road leads right and crosses the Stierenbach stream. From there, the route ascends and descends on the right side of the valley along a forest road, below the cliffs of the Spannörter, past the Stäuber waterfall. The path then leads right towards Blackenalp. At Blackenalp, take a break with a magnificent view of the mountain world – the Spannörter and the Surenen Pass ahead – and recharge energy for the final climb to the Surenen Pass at the Blackenalp alpine hut. Energized, continue steadily upwards, sometimes riding your bike, sometimes walking beside it, but always looking forward to reaching the pass height soon. The view of the Urner Alps will make you forget all the effort. From the highest point of the route to Alp Waldnacht, a very demanding singletrail awaits. At the lake in front of Alp Waldnacht, turn right onto another singletrail. From Zieriberg, road and singletrail alternate until you reach the valley floor. For the return to Engelberg, various options are available. Those who want to stay longer in the saddle can cycle back via Seelisberg/Emmetten/Dallenwil to Engelberg. More relaxed alternatives are to return by train from Erstfeld or by boat from Flüelen towards Engelberg." language: "en" type: "SportsActivityLocation" image: "https://dam.destination.one/3658516/a23e4597447aa3c5de364c76acb315c23a89e956fa9953721db740bea6f2efb8/.jpg" breadcrumb: "Root > Welcome to Lucerne > Special > Destination.Data Details > Tour" --- GPX Share Bikeroute Surenen Pass ====================== - Tip - 27.98 km long - Difficulty: difficult - Condition: medium - Great panorama - Tour This demanding route takes you through the mysteriously quiet Niedersurenen Valley into another world.
