The best walks and hikes around Sarnersee

Sarnersee The Sarnersee is the largest lake in the canton of Obwalden. It is located in the area of the municipalities of Sarnen, Sachseln and Giswil. The lake, which lies 469 meters above sea level, is fed by the Grosse Melchaa, the Dreiwässerkanal and the Sarner Aa, among others. The latter flows out of the lake at the northern end near Sarnen before flowing into the Alpnachersee at the valley exit. The Sarnersee is a good six kilometers long, between one and one and a half kilometers wide and thus has an area of approximately 7.5 square kilometers.

From here you can enjoy panoramic views of Lake Sarnen, framed by lush forests and rolling mountains. The peaceful blue of the lake contrasts beautifully with its green valley setting, giving you a perfect vantage point to admire the picturesque Swiss landscape.

The church of Flühli was built in 1782 in a privileged location on the foothills of the Waldfluh in the middle of the Waldemmental. The church of St. Joseph and the parish that was created led to the development of the village and later to an independent political municipality.

Always a beautiful photo subject.

A steep path to the Ranft. It's worth it, wonderful encounters with people from all over the world.

Lake Sarnen is a lake in the heart of Oblalden

This beautiful circular hike starts at the public parking lot opposite the Tschiferli Cafe restaurant, where there are no fees. There are also public toilets at the parking lot. This hike offers many opportunities to pause, either on a viewing bench or in a chapel or church along the way. The hiking trail leads along streets and narrow paths to the high bridge. This highest covered wooden bridge in Europe spans the Grosse Melchaa. What I found to be highlights: - The highest covered wooden bridge - Stairs in the forest - Great views of the Alps - Beautiful chapels Note: This is an easy hike for me, but it could quickly become a moderate hike for someone else. Important: In the winter months, the section in the forest, especially the stairs, is very dangerous when they are covered with snow and ice. Surefootedness is required. FYI: Easy hike Difficulty level: T1 (hiking)
