Sporty variant on the old land connection between the cantons of Nidwalden and Uri. Ascent and descent via boldly built mountain paths with viewing platforms. In between, valley hiking in Isenthal.

The path is steep at first but offers various surprises: hollow ways, gorge traverses and forest paths with chances for short rests. You hike past several alpine meadows on the treeless terrain levels until you reach the "Vordere Bärchi". At the rest area you can enjoy a magnificent view. Now follows the pleasant part: on a forest road into the Isenthal and past beautiful farms.

The descent also leads you to a viewing platform, which offers a breathtaking view to the south. In several steep hairpin bends you reach Lake Uri at Isleten.
