A varied hike through meadows and beautiful forest areas.

The hike starts from Sarnen train station along the railway tracks heading south, crosses the railway tracks and then passes to the right of the Protestant church. After crossing the motorway and the Melchaa, the trail turns left to the Sarnen Lourdes Grotto. It is worth stopping here to enjoy this special place.

After the stop, a short, steep path leads up to the Hohflue and then along the Melchaa bank to the Hohe Brücke. At the Hohe Brücke, you can hear the water rushing 100 meters below.

After a short stretch along the road towards Flüeli, the path turns left after 500 meters and passes the Jugendstil hotel Paxmontana and the house of Brother Klaus on the way to Flüeli. It is worth making a detour to the Ranft here, where Brother Klaus lived as a hermit.

Following the Vision Path, the hike continues to Sachseln. Various wonderful viewpoints with seating invite you to rest. The path leads into the center of Sachseln, from there to the train station, and finally back to Sarnen on the popular lake path. Along the Sarnersee, there are many benches to rest on.
