  3. 12 May - Engelberg Hike

12 May - Engelberg

Today we took a train from Luzern to the resort village of Engelberg and did a short hike to the Gasthaus Geschnialp and had a nice hiker's lunch at the Restaurant Ritz.  We each had a very fresh salad followed by a shared Bundnerfleish (air dried meats) and Cheese platter.  After lunch we took a different route back down to the train station in Engelberg, and back to Luzern.  We had dinner at a small pizza restaurant near the apartment.

  • The trail led through a very lush forest.  Unfortunately, the weather was overcast and rainy so we couldn't see the surrounding high peaks.
