Not just for professors

The beautiful path invites you to stroll. It leads from the train station past the Sportingpark and along the Engelberg Aa. At the Eienwäldli you can enjoy a coffee or something tasty to eat. After that, the trail continues to the Fürenalp valley station, from where you can take a walk back or take the bus.
