- Destination: Fürenalp mountain station
From the valley station of the Fürenalpbahn, the path gently follows the Engelberger Aa past rushing mountain streams. Again and again, fantastic views of the surrounding peaks open up.
A notable stop is the Stäuber waterfall, which lets the water plunge down with impressive force. It continues over alpine meadows that offer a diverse flower spectacle especially in the alpine summer. During the alpine summer, various alpine huts or farm shops invite you to take a break.
At the end or the start of the circular route (depending on direction) another highlight awaits – the ride with the Fürenalpbahn. Floating over the rock walls, you return to the valley while enjoying a spectacular view of the surrounding mountain world.
