Hiking Near Engelberg

I’m not going to write much about this hike. Instead, I’ll let the pictures speak for themselves. This hiking adventure was about 1 1/2 hours from where I live. We headed out to Engleberg and went past it to the middle of nowhere to start our hike. We stumbled upon a little area called Stäfeli-äbnetalp and the views were stunning.

The Animals

I love running into Swiss cows when I’m out hiking. We found plenty of cows on this hike and we also came across some pigs and some goats.

Only problem is that wild flowers get stuck between my toes in my vibrams

You can always tell where you are in Switzerland by the flag that's flying. This is the Canton Uri flag.
