    Author’s recommendation

    In Stans, there are some culinary highlights to discover. For example, the fine Cordon Bleus at the Hotel Restaurant Engel or at the CULINARIUM ALPINUM (former Capuchin monastery) you will find regional products, such as milk caramel.

    Roadbook

    Stans station – Waechselacher – Wirzboden – Huebliegg – Stans

    From Stans station, first head towards the plain into the Waechselacher area. Then into the Niederdorf and almost to the Ländlerpark shopping center. From there, through the neighborhood to Ennetmoserstrasse and west of Wirzboden, immediately up the slope, past the flood protection structures, up to Ober Hostatt. Then follows the panorama section above the village to Chlostermatt and Huebliegg. It's no coincidence that many small benches stand here. On Huebstrasse, you go down to Heinrich Chapel and then to Wilerrank. Finally, on a narrow field path, back to Waechselacher.
