View of Lake Sarnen
Highlight • Viewpoint
The Sarnersee is the largest lake in the canton of Obwalden. It is located in the area of the municipalities of Sarnen, Sachseln and Giswil. The lake, which lies 469 meters above sea level, is fed by the Grosse Melchaa, the Dreiwässerkanal and the Sarner Aa, among others. The latter flows out of the lake at the northern end near Sarnen before flowing into the Alpnachersee at the valley exit. The Sarnersee is a good six kilometers long, between one and one and a half kilometers wide and thus has an area of approximately 7.5 square kilometers.

House of Niklaus and Dorothee
Highlight • Historical Site
Niklaus built the house himself, as assumed, around 1450. He lived there with his family until he became a hermit. After he left, Dorothee and his children continued to live in this house.
The house was changed several times over the centuries, but was restored to its original state in 1944/45 in preparation for his canonization in 1947.
