location
The Gerschnialp forms a plateau at the first stage of the layer Titlis Tearing Noll - Jochstock -Massivs below the powerful Gerschniberges to the plateau of the upper Trüebsee Alp, which both from the lying Kalksediment-benches of the ceiling of the Aar Massif build. It is separated from the valley village by a wooded escarpment and can be reached via a cooperative alpine access road. The Trüebenbach rises in the corridor Unter Trüebsee, which is fed underground by the Trüebsee and drains the area to the Engelberger Aa .
tourism
A funicular takes you from Engelberg to the Gerschnialp. Until the Engelberg-Trübsee gondola lift was replaced by the TITLIS Xpress Engelberg-Trübsee in 2015, the Alp was also an intermediate station for the Titlis lift . Since then, there is only a connection to Trübsee and Mount Titlis in winter via the Gerschnialp – Trübsee cable car.
There are two inns on the Gerschnialp ( Ritz , Unter Trübsee , from there the Älplerseil cable car to Trübsee). In winter, three children's lifts are installed and numerous cross-country trails and snowshoe trails have been created. The forest road is used as a toboggan run in winter .
The Zschokke House ( 1262 m above sea level ) of the student body of the University of Basel , named after Friedrich Zschokke , and a contract shooting range are located on the Alp . A hiking trail leads to the alpine area Arniwang and on the Juchlipass ( 2171 m above sea level. M. ) or Bockigrat ( 2200 m above sea level. M. ) to Melchtal .
The alpine region Gerschnialp-Hinterstafel has the alp cadastre No. 6191, the summer dawn in the alp Unter Trüebsee was discontinued in the 1950s.
