There were so many people — really, a crowd. Even on the way home, the public transport was packed: the bus was overflowing, and the train was no better.

Long story short:

Is it a nice trail? Yes.
Should you go when the weather is absolutely perfect on a weekend? Probably not.

Waypoints:

• Engelberg
• Jochpass
• Melchsee-Frutt
• Melchtal

Tips:

There's only one bus per hour from Melchtal Dorf (today it was at :48). When you pass Stöckalp (about 3 km before Melchtal), check the time. If you're close to the next bus, I suggest catching it there. The wait in Melchtal isn’t really worth the extra few kilometers — they’re okay, but nothing spectacular.
