Q: What are the top tourist attractions in Engelberg?

Mount Titlis : Ascend by Titlis Rotair, the rotating cable car, for razor-sharp views of glaciers and peaks. Brave the Cliff Walk suspension bridge and step into the blue-lit glacier cave. Engelberg Abbey : Step inside the Benedictine monastery to see the baroque church and watch cheese made in the show dairy. Hear the organ if a short recital is on. Brunni and Härzlisee : Hike sunny slopes to the small heart-shaped lake and try the barefoot path around its edge. Ride the Brunni gondola for easy access to panoramic trails. Trübsee : Circle this high-alpine lake on a gentle path and spot reflections of jagged summits in calm water. Rent a rowboat in summer or simply picnic by the shore. Fürenalp : Ride a small cable car to a quiet, cliff-edge terrace with sweeping views over the Engelberg valley. Set out on short ridge walks where choughs wheel overhead.
