Maria-Rickenbach
Maria-Rickenbach is a Benedictine monastery for women. It is situated above the village of Niederrickenbach in the municipality of Oberdorf in the Swiss canton of Nidwalden. The monastery is accessible only by cable car from Niederrickenbach Station on the Luzern–Stans–Engelberg railway line. The monastery was established after a 1528 painting of the Madonna was placed in a hollow maple tree on that site.
Engelberger Aa
Engelberger Aa (or Engelbergeraa) is a river in Switzerland. It rises west of Surenenpass in the Canton of Uri, flows through the valley of Engelberg and Nidwalden. At Buochs, it empties into Lake Lucerne and is thus a tributary of the river Reuss, which drains that lake.
