For people not used driving in the alps, the road is scaringly narrow, but at the same time it is a beautiful drive through forest trees spending shade and along some meadows leading you to the interesting alp, while passing some impressive waterfalls. On weekends it is mandatory to only drive up during even hours (e.g. start the last 5km between 10-10:40 / 20 min. drive) and down in the uneven hours (e.g. 13-13:40). On weekdays you may have to back up sometimes to the next bypass, to pass with traffic coming the other way. The short hike we made along the Steimannli-trail was instructive and easy. We even found some chanterelle and a Neoboletus luridiformis (Flockenstieliger Hexenröhrling), these we shall have for dinner.

Most reviews are about the Church of the Benedictine Monastery. This review is about the Benedictine Monastery itself. The monastery is open to the public to see and go on a tour but - only available at 4 pm and must tour with one of the monks. I had read in some of the guide books about this. There is also a 8 Swiss Franc cash only admission to go inside the monastery itself. Luckily we worked our schedule in Engelberg and Mt Titlis around this time. It is worth the time. We had an hour tour in English and there was just us 4. We learned a lot about the monastery and their order. Very interesting history as this monastery is linked closely to Engelberg. Would recommend this hidden gem.

I love this place so much. I have been there multiple times and cant get bored of this location. I can strongly recommend a beautiful hike from Truebsee to Engstensee and further called MARMOT ROUTE I had even a chance to meet marmots on my way but for that you need to remember to be really really quite. I did that hike on few occasions, started from Engelberg with cable car to Truebsee however you can as well start on another side Engstensee where you can directly arrive with your car without a need to pay for mountain lift (which can be pricey for a group or a good saving in favour of other attractions). 1 - Spectacular views on YouTube channel HSN Healing Sound of Nature: “Marmot route from Truebsee /Engelberg, amazing nature of Switzerland”. Channel: Healing Sound of Nature 2- Nature sounds video from this valley from Engstlensee lake “Healing Sound of Nature Swiss Mountain Lake Music -Engstensee relaxation, meditation, sleep HSN”, and Waterfall "Swiss Mountain Waterfall Nature Sounds Music - Engelberg relaxation, meditation, sleep, chill out” Channel: "HSN Healing Sound of Nature" - in search option chose channel Just to let you know Channel was set up to share healing sound of nature therefore you can find within available videos as well 2 for 1h each presenting peacefulness of that place: 1. Engstlensee lake - “Healing Sound of Nature Swiss Mountain Lake Music -Engstensee relaxation, meditation, sleep HSN” 2. Little waterfall with river falling to Truebsee -“Swiss Mountain Waterfall Nature Sounds Music - Engelberg relaxation, meditation, sleep, chill out” Enjoy views of the hike and available nature sounds
