Impressive summit route on the Buochser local mountain, 1806 m above sea level, awaits adventurous hikers.

After a short ride with the Dallenwil – Niederrickenbach aerial cableway, you arrive at the starting point of the hike.

In Maria-Rickenbach, you first follow the street to the fire and picnic spot Reservoir. Through the forest, the path gradually ascends to the alpine cheese dairy Bleiki. After the Bleiki ridge follows the steepest part of the hike. The effort is rewarded with a sensational 360-degree panorama of Lake Lucerne, Klewenalp, Brisen, Stanserhorn, and other beautiful places. On the way back, we again go over the Bleiki ridge to Musenalp. A visit to the Alpbeizli Musenalp with its own alpine cheese dairy is recommended on the hike. The descent to the valley is gentle on the knees by aerial cableway Musenalp and Dallenwil-Niederrickenbach.
