route

Stans-Engelburg is a short, easy hike in Nidwalden, Switzerland, about half a mile from the town of Stans. The route rises about 438 feet to a high point of 1,939 feet, and it is a point-to-point walk rather than a loop, so the climb is one way. The trail is easy to fit into a day in Stans. It makes a quick addition to time spent in town, and the high point gives a short taste of the higher ground around here. Several other outings sit close by. The Chälti-Bluematt mountain biking route and the Bluematt-Chalcherli hike are each about a mile away, and the Ahorn-Bluematt hike is about 1.4 miles off. For a longer outing, the Stanserhorn summit lies about 2.2 miles away.
