This sixth stage will take you from Beckenried (NW) to Seelisberg (UR). The route follows the road along the lake to Risleten. The path continues with a fairly steep climb through the Risletenschlucht gorge, where the Choltalbach rushes down to the lake, creating spectacular waterfalls. The route then crosses the Stützberg and passes through Volligen. The final stretch to Seelisberg involves one last climb across meadows.

Departure from Hergiswil (Nidwalden)
Starting from Stansstad railway station, you go straight up above the motorway, thus tackling the steepest part.
Then, along the ridge overview of the Alpnachersee lake for a good third of the way, glimpses of views and appreciating the 400-500m ascent: Probably a good time to rest for a lunch break before the Renggpass.
The final part is downhill all the way to the village and train station of Hergiswil, passing through fields of cows, farms & green pasture.
