Hiking: Engelberg - Grafenort - taking the train back



Today we logged another great hike in the valley. We found a nice service called Quikmaps, so you get a better picture of where we've been.

We started at the tourist center, walking up along monastery and up through the forest to Flühmatt. I stayed at the Flühmatt farm during the winter season 2003, at Fränzi & Bixi. So I've walked this 40-minute hike more times than I can remember.

From Flühmatt, we continued all the way up to Brunnihütte, and then we turned north and had the mountain ridge on our right hand side. Loads of cows, beautiful flower fields and stunning views. We ended up in Grafenort, 500 meters below Engelberg, and took the train back to the village. After enjoying a cold one down at Gasthaus Grafenort.
