Additional information

**Kernwald**
The Kernwald forms the legendary border forest between the two half-cantons of Obwalden and Nidwalden. A prehistoric landslide from the Stanserhorn created a unique landscape in the Kernwald. The Kernwald is also mentioned in various stories and legends. Due to its uniqueness, it is counted among landscapes of national importance.

**Gerzensee**
The Gerzensee is a very special lake. It has neither inflow nor outflow, as it is only fed by groundwater. The lake and its surroundings lie in a cantonal nature reserve, so certain behavior rules must be observed.
