Lenk-Trütlisberg-Leiterli, nature experiences at Lenk

From the valley station Betelberg, the path leads up to the Hohliebe and further to the valley station Wallegg (winter operation only). Then you climb along the riverbed of the Wallbach to the Wallbach gorge. The impressive Wallbach gorge with its rock formations finely polished by water is explored on a stair-like path through the forest up to the Wallegg restaurant. From here, the Wallbach is crossed again from one side of the gorge to the other. From Lochberg, the forest opens up and the view of the Gryden area with its “Stübleni” unfolds. “Stübleni” (little rooms) refers to the individual “craters” in the Gryden area, whereby “Gryde” probably stems from Chride (chalk). As the nearly white gypsum rock slowly dissolves through rain and underground drainage, sinkholes (dolines) form side by side creating a crater landscape. From Lochberg to the Trütlisberg pass the path steadily rises. With the Trütlisberg pass the height is reached, from here a beautiful high path leads through the “Stübleni” to the destination, the Leiterli mountain station.

Warning! The path through the Stübleni (sinkholes) can cause problems for people who are not free from vertigo. On the left and right of the narrow path, the funnels drop down to 10 meters deep!
