This small Swiss town sits directly on the shore of Lake Sarnen, the cantonal capital of Obwalden, with vineyards and mountain scenery in the surrounding countryside. A real café and restaurant scene gives it more life than its size might suggest, and it serves as a practical base for excursions by train, car, or bike toward Lucerne, Engelberg, and the Bernese Oberland.
