Engstligenalp

Access from the north is via a mule track blasted into the 600 metres (2,000 ft) high rock beside the waterfalls.

It offers from end of June to mid September pasture for 500 cattle (about one third cows, and one third calves) of the big brown-white Simmental race.

A spectacular event is the alpine procession in June, when 350 cattle move up the steepest cow track in Switzerland through the rock wall.

[3] From the milk of the cows, the Alpine dairymen using old handicraft techniques produce a Bernese Alp cheese which is so searched for that it is sold in private and not available in open market.

(Ernst Roth, z'Bärg im Frutigland, volume three of Wege zum Alpkäse) In the 20th century, the Engstligenalp opened up to moderate tourism with two guest houses.
