    Anstrengender, aber gut zu bewältigender Aufstieg zur Schutzhütte Abgeschütz (2.229 m). Dann fast senkrechter Abstieg, teilweise mit Ketten gesichert. Hier muss man schon sehr aufpassen! Über den oder das Chringengrätli weiter und wieder kurz und knapp aber steil abwärts. Dann flach weiter, am Älggi vorbei zum Berggasthaus Aelggialp. Dort habe ich leider die Abzweigung zum Mittelpunkt der Schweiz übersehen, da ich diese Seite noch nicht kannte. Es geht dann wieder bergauf bis Bachegg (1.858 m). Gemächlich bergab geht es dann weiter bis Stepfen (1503 m). Nun wird es fast bösartig: Ein sehr steiler und rutschiger Abstieg folgt. Ich musste mich einige Male unsanft hinsetzen. Besonders in der Nähe des Innenbachs ist es auf den Steinen sehr glatt. Ich bin froh, dass meine Knochen heil blieben und war froh, als ich bei Stöckalp ankam. Ich habe die Tour mit dem Smartphone und meiner Uhr aufgezeichnet, es waren gut 16,5 km. Obwohl ich mich als fit bezeichne, hatte ich am nächsten Tag einen ausgewachsenen Muskelkater in den Oberschenkeln.

    Wunderschöne Wanderung ohne Einkehrmöglichkeit (ausser dann im schönen Pax Montana). Sehr abwechslungsreich und mit tollen Impressionen auf die Bauernwelt des Obwalden. Gemacht zur Heuernte Ende Mai.

    Wunderschöne Landschaft. Allerdings keine volle Punktzahl, weil sehr viel Almwege (z.T. asphaltiert) und die Almwiesen bis in die Höhen intensiv bewirtschaftet und artenarm sind. (Und ja, dier Almbauern müssen da oben wirtschaften! Aber Kulturlandschaftsprogramme in anderen Kantonen und angrenzenden Ländern, zeigen, wie Alpwirtschaft unf Artenreichtum miteinander geht.)

    Die Grillstelle kurz vor Höhe St.Jakob bietet sich ideal für einen Rast an. Haben die Tour gekürzt und sind entlang gegenüberliegenden Hang mit Blick auf Alpnachersee zurückgelaufen.
