Engstligenalp - strength place in the Bernese Oberland

The Engstligenalp exists of an almost
round plateau which is surrounded by mountain ranges and how
a gigantic arena works. The mystic typography of the Engstligenalp
invites to a walk formally. Along the nicely wide gravel -
footpath, we come completely behind on the Engstligenalp to
a meadow littered with boulders. There we also find the striking
block of the Lägersteins.
Here the most southern point of the Engstligenalp, to the central
and most intensive strength place is the nightmare. 
Stories and legends
The name Engstlige, for the nightmare and brook should go back
to Celtic river goddess Andekingila, the quickly going. At the
moment of the Celts the headwaters of the rivers counted as special
strength places. Everywhere on the Engstligenalp, especially along
the brooks, with the small pools and on the foot of the waterfall
the presence of the mystic strength is perceptible.

Waterfall way
Between both inns the way leads down to the foot of the upper
Engstligenfalls.
The way further leads about a bridge, on the other shore to the
markannten cliff walls along talauswärts and in very much
abschüssigem area in precipitous sweeping, down to the valley
ground.
