The route leads from Emmetten with a pleasant climb to the mountain station at Stockhütte. In between, a break can be taken at Erlenkäppeli or right next to it at a fire pit. After the short descent from Twäregg, the route climbs slightly again through Ängital, a lovely hiking landscape with views of the Schwalmis. The restaurant Tannibüel invites you to linger and offers help with a technical defect. After a quick descent, the tour goes at the Stockboden junction to the well-known viewpoint Tristelen. On the small bench, you can soak up sunshine and enjoy the view of the clear Lake Lucerne. After a few bends, the circular tour ends in the village of Emmetten.
