High above Engelberg, after the gondola ride from the valley station up to Trübsee, the magnificent view towards Titlis and a leisurely hike awaits. 
The trail around Lake Trübsee is a nice walk for families with strollers or if you like it flat and leisurely. Remember to pack some cervelat or bratwurst in your backpack. Four fireplaces invite you to enjoy a barbecue.

Author’s advice
A visit to the rustic Hüethütte, the cozy Alpstübli or the Berghotel Trübsee is always worth it!
