Lake Lutersee can be reached from Engelberg and Grafenort, among other places. From Grafenort, you can take two small cable cars (Mettlen - Rugisbalm - Unter Lutersee). Then it's a good hour's walk up to the lake. From Lake Lutersee, you can see Mount Titlis, and in calm weather, it's reflected in the lake's surface.

The Aaschlucht adventure trail is highly recommended! It's really well-designed, well-maintained, and there are several places to stop and barbecue. The trail is especially great in summer, as the forest and water keep it pleasantly cool. However, there are always lots of people out and about then. I think it's really cool that the trail has been expanded for bikers! 💚 About a year ago, it was the same trail as the hikers. But now the trail branches off roughly halfway, so bikers and hikers can use their own paths. Really great!

The lake is located right at the entrance to the village, near the valley station of the Titlis cable car. The small lake is located at an altitude of 1,016 meters above sea level. The Eugenisee is approximately 300 meters long and 200 meters wide and is artificially regulated to generate electricity. The Engelberger Aa is both an inflow and outflow of the Eugenisee. There are seating areas around the Engelberger Lake that invite you to linger.

Engelberg Monastery (Benedictine Abbey) The Benedictine Abbey of Engelberg is located in a mountain valley at the foot of Mount Titlis. The monastery was founded by the Zurich nobleman Konrad von Sellenbüren and founded in 1120 by monks from Muri under Abbot Adelhelm. In the middle of the 12th century, monks from the reformed monastery of St. Blasien (Black Forest) renewed monastic life. Abbot Frowin (1147-78) founded a writing school, which flourished under him and his successors Berchtold (1178-97) and Heinrich (1197-1223). Since Frowin's time at the latest, the abbey has been a double monastery. The women's community moved to Sarnen (St. Andreas Monastery) in 1615. Around 1604, Engelberg Monastery was accepted into the Swiss Benedictine Congregation. Since its foundation, the abbey has held a central position in the Engelberg valley. Until the French Revolution, the abbot was both the spiritual and secular lord of the valley. In 1798, the valley people gained political independence. Over time, the monastery was plagued by internal difficulties, external challenges, fires and plague epidemics, but monastic life was maintained without interruption throughout the centuries. The current baroque monastery complex was built after the third fire (1729). The monks have been teaching young people since the monastery's beginnings. In the 19th century, the school was expanded (high school diploma since 1909). The school buildings were expanded in 1972-74. Today, the Engelberg Abbey School runs a high school that prepares students for the bilingual high school diploma (German/English) and the International Baccalaureate. The boarding school is open to boys and girls who attend the grammar school or the secondary school (IOS) run by the municipality of Engelberg and housed in the monastery's rooms.
