On the way we encounter two small cable cars, namely the Bielen cable car and the Diegisbalm cable car. At the Hof Neufallenbach kiosk in Grafenort there are many local organic products. In Wolfenschiessen we can take a look at what is probably the oldest house in the Nidwalden region, the "Hechhuis", from the outside.
