On the final leg of my walk, between Gerschnialp and Engelberg, the trail runs close to one of the dedicated mountain bike trails. The lady at the ticket office had mentioned that my hiking pass included a day of reduced-rate bike rental. However, all such thoughts fled from my mind when I saw this.
The idea is that you ride from the left, off the flat bit, land gracefully on the downward sloping bit and exit right. What's not quite so obvious from this photo is that the sloping bit on the right is about 10 feet below the flat bit on the left. Now I consider myself to be an enthusiastic mountain biker, but that sort of shenanigans is a very long way beyond my level of comfort/skill/bravery/insanity.
