This new Alpine Cheese Trail (Alpkäse-Trail) takes you to eight Alpine dairies in Engelberg, where you will try a range of unique Alpine cheeses.
Only cheese made from the milk of cows, sheep or goats that graze on Alpine meadows can be called "Alpkäse". The cheese also has to be produced at an Alpine summer farm, usually following traditional, old-school methods.
