Beyond Beckenried, the road to Seelisberg leaves the lake and crosses the highway to Emmetten (762 m/2,500ft), a straggling village and summer holiday resort in a sheltered setting. The road continues uphill for a short distance before descending steeply near the church into a beautiful green Alpine valley and then climbing again on a moderate
gradient to the Niederbauen (1,927 m/6,322ft: on right, a cableway from Emmetten) and the Stutzberg. From Emmetten there is a cableway to the Stockhütte (1,286 m/4,219ft).
