Passing alpine meadows and a shale quarry, this hike takes the most direct route from the mountain station to the Fürenalp valley station or vice versa. Along the way, you have a fantastic view of the monastery village Engelberg. Various power spots invite you to recharge your energy.

The hike leads over meadows with unique alpine flowers and past numerous alpine buildings. The Engelberg monastery extracted bricks for their buildings from the shale quarry. Can you see the extraction marks? The nearby hydroelectric power plant produces electricity for the Engelberg monastery. In the past, the monks operated the plant themselves and cleaned the small lake together every summer. Stop at the start/finish of the hike at Engelberg's highest waterfall. With a drop of 60 m, the Tätschbachfall, better known as the "Waterfall," is an impressive natural spectacle and a wonderful place to recharge. Can you hear the different tones of its roaring? At the foot of the fall is the Restaurant Wasserfall.
