Hiking

The Engelberger Aa (or Engelbergeraa) is a river in Switzerland. It rises west of the Surenen Pass in the canton of Uri, flows through the valleys of Engelberg (Obwalden) and Nidwalden and finally empties into Lake Lucerne (also known as Lake Lucerne). As a tributary of the Reuss, it contributes to the drainage of the lake. The river's source is at an altitude of about 2,200 metres, and it falls rapidly, taking in water from various mountain streams.
