For centuries, Isenthal was hidden to a large part of the Uri population. The municipality of Isenthal, the current hiking area, was only accessible on foot from the municipalities of Bauen/Seedorf via the old country road. Hikes in the Chli- and Grosstal and crossings into neighboring cantons were considered cumbersome and time-consuming. Today, the village of Isenthal is well connected as a starting point for numerous rewarding hikes via public transport. The "Naturkundlicher Höhenweg Isenthal" over Sassigrat lies within a federal hunting reserve. It features an extremely rich biodiversity.
