Direction.

After traveling with the Zentralbahn to Alpnach Dorf, the alpine bus will take you to Alp Lütholdsmatt at approximately 1,130 meters above sea level. There, you'll find a cozy mountain inn and the starting point for diverse hikes. These routes cater to both the athletic and experienced hikers, offering challenging trails to Mittaggüpfi, along the ridge path to Mount Pilatus, or to Tripolihütte via Stäfeliflue to Blaue Tosse. Equally enticing is the Obwaldner Höhenweg at a mid-level altitude, leading from Chrüzliegg over the Schlierengrat to Glaubenberg. It's important to note that these trails are demanding and, in some sections, rather challenging. For those seeking a more leisurely experience, there are tranquil hiking options in the moorland area around Rotibach-Schwandschlieren.
