Beautiful summit hike on the local mountain of Buochs

We started the tour with the cable car ride from Dallenwil to Niederrickenbach. From Maria-Rickenbach, we first followed the road to the Reservoir barbecue area and then headed up through the forest to the Alpkäserei Bleiki. After the Bleikigrat came the most strenuous and steepest part – we were rewarded with a fantastic panoramic view of the Vierwaldstättersee, Klewenalp, Brisen, and Stanserhorn. The return path led us via the Bleikigrat to Musenalp, where we stopped for a break at the Alpbeizli. For the descent into the valley, we ultimately chose the knee-friendly option using the Musenalp and Dallenwil-Niederrickenbach cable cars.
