For centuries, Isenthal was hidden from most of the Uri population. The community of Isenthal, today’s hiking area, was only accessible on foot by the old land route from the communities of Bauen/Seedorf. Hikes in the Chli and Grosstal valleys and the crossings to the neighboring cantons were considered cumbersome and time-consuming. Today the village of Isenthal is well connected as a starting point for numerous rewarding hikes using public transport. The «Naturkundlicher Höhenweg Isenthal» via Sassigrat lies in the federal hunting reserve area. It features an exceptionally rich biodiversity.
