Sarnen

Sarnen combines the responsibilities of Obwalden’s cantonal capital with the measured rhythm of a lakeside town, reflecting its position between Lake Sarnen and the pre-Alpine valleys of central Switzerland. The Sarner Aa leaves the lake here, while slopes above the shore keep the compact centre closely connected to its rural surroundings. Sarnen lies on the Brünig railway route between Lucerne and Interlaken, an important link across the Alpine foothills. The medieval Hexenturm remains a distinctive reminder of the town’s civic past.
