The Trüebsee (standard language: Trübsee, e.g. official name of the bus stop/station) is a mountain lake on the Alp Ober Trüebsee at an altitude of 1763 m above sea level in Central Switzerland. It lies between the municipality of Engelberg and the Titlis mountain in the canton of Nidwalden, near the Jochpass (2207 m above sea level). The Ober Trüebsee-Jochpass region within the municipality of Wolfenschiessen is a developed alpine tourist area. https://de.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tr%C3%BCebsee

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.

Trübsee The Trübsee, also Trüebsee, is a mountain lake above Engelberg, located in the municipality of Wolfenschiessen in the canton of Nidwalden. It is situated at an altitude of 1764 meters above sea level between Schafberg and Bitzistock. The small lake lies on a high plateau in the Engelberg Valley between Engelberg and the Titlis or Joch Pass, respectively. It is fed by the Trübseebach stream, which originates from the Titlis Glacier, and flows into the Engelberger Aa via the Trübenbach stream. The maximum depth of the Trübsee is around nine meters.
