Beneath the imposing walls of the Schlossberg
The ascent from Engelberg to the Spannorthütte begins comfortably along the Engelberger Aa (river), but quickly steepens under the walls of the Schlossberg. Although the approach is designated as a white-red-white hiking trail, it has a few exposed passages and even a short climbing section. The classification as T3 therefore seems justified.
