The Wirzweli Hexenweg, aka "Witch Trail," is a theme trail for children in the foothills south of Lucerne, near Engelberg.

The easy downhill hike goes through a forest, following "Lizi the Witch," who tells the story of her forest through fun activities and informative stations along the way.

Hike: Easy • 1.5 h • 3 k • 20m up, 360m down • trail map
Highest elevation 1570m

Location: Wizweli cable car – Wiesenbergstrasse 25, 6383 Dallenwil

Open: May thru October

Lots of nice shady picnic areas for hot summer days. Plus a big playground and summer toboggan near the cable car station.

How to get there

By car:

Drive to Dallenwil then up the hill to Wiesenbergstrasse 25, 6383 Dallenwil. Park in the large metered parking lot next to the cable car station.

By public transport:

Take a train to the Dallenwil station. From here, you can ride the free Wirzweli shuttle bus up to the cable car.

But you need to call them to order the shuttle - +41 41 628 23 94. It takes about 10 mins to come pick you up, so best to call at least 15 mins before you arrive. The shuttle bus only fits 8 people, so you may need to wait a bit.
