This is a new and interesting Hike. A brochure is available at the Gemeindeverwaltung or the tourism office in Emmetten. An excellent leaflet with panoramic map is available at the cable car Emmetten/Niederbauen ticketing counter. Don't be disappointed if none of the animals show up. Nevertheless there will be fantastic lookouts and you get a good idea about the habitat of the species. Most of the path will lead through alp meadows. For this tour I parked my car at the Klewenalp cable car. then I used the Postauto to Emmetten (leaving Beckenried "Post", near the church, a few Minutes before the hour) The
path is marked by green signs "Wildbeobachtungspfad". From the
cable car exit the gravel road is ascending towards the top of
Niederbauen. After a few Minutes there is already the first table and
benches. We get a glimpse of the route to follow. - A path running along
the flanks of the rocky chain of mountains, then crossing over to the
other side of the valley with Rinderbuehl, Stockhuette and Klewenalp. |

On the track from Stanserhorn to Holzwang | |
Holzwang: Sarnersee |
The path is partly cutting the pass road Kerns-Aecherli-Wiesenberg/Wirzweli-Dallenwil. We are passing some Alp huts, some of them will sell there produces (e.g. alp cheese). From Aecherli we enjoy pretty lookouts towards Alpnach, Pilatus. The path to Holzwang is almost flat. From Holzwang with view of Sarnersee, the track is laid out along the hill and partly through forest. Arriving at the Chrinnen the next challenge is the steep path zigzagging up to the Stanserhorn. Arriving on the top the view is fantastic. It's also noteworthy, that every year the path is being partly replaced/repaired. During the winter the track in the Chrinnen will usually be damaged by avalanches. |
