Very beautiful small reservoir above Gurtnellen/Amsteg. You can go quite high up with the Intschi cable car. The best way to get there on a mountain bike is to take the road from Gurtnellen (asphalt at the beginning, gravel for the last third over the highest point, Heissigegg 1,409 meters). The walk around the lake is worthwhile. Large shady picnic area with benches and two small restaurants. The downhill from Rinderstafel 1,329 meters to Intschi train station 649 meters is tough, long and rough, S2.

Heissigegg Viewpoint

Highlight • Viewpoint

Two wooden benches invite you to linger and enjoy. A unique panorama awaits you here over the upper Reuss and Maderaner valleys, although you cannot overlook the Arnisee. 🥰

Tierrätselweg Nature Trail

Highlight (Segment) • Trail

This route with wonderful vantage points is suitable for families. Between the lookout point at Heissigegg and the Holzrieri rest area is the "Tierliweg", on which children can find 12 hidden wooden animals over a distance of almost three kilometres. In the riddle boxes, the animals are presented in the form of a simple riddle.

Finally back in Uri 🥰, and the most wonderful ☀️ bill.
With my son a little round on the local mountain with a successful break up at the lake in the Alpenblick restaurant with cheese rösti and a beer 😋, it couldn't be better 👍🏼😉😎
