The Swiss canton of Obwalden sits at the center of the country and is part of the Old Swiss Confederacy, said to have formed in 1291. Its current borders define two non-contiguous regions; this route describes an aesthetic loop around the entire larger, western part, winding through mountains high above Lake Sarnen.

The route is is mostly between 1000 and 2000m, over steep green (in the summer) mountains, covered with cow pastures. The full loop is approximately 125 km long with 7500m of climbing.

Central trail is the longest trail in Riding Mountain National Park, MB, Canada. It is the spine of the West end network, this retired patrol road provides access to the western half of the park, stretching from a west trailhead at Bob Hill Lake to east trailhead shared with Strathclair trail at North end of the Bison enclosure. It's the doubletrack easy-to-follow and not technical trail with minor elevation change. Riding Mountain National Park is a home to black bears. Therefore, encounters with them is commonplace.      

OPPLEV DALANE - i historiske tråkk fra hav til høyfjell

Fra gammelt av har det vært et godt utviklet samferdselsnett i Dalane. Det meste av dette var enkle tråkk, men også forseggjorte slep og veger. I vår moderne tidsalder har mange av disse mistet sin funksjon og blitt liggende ubrukt. Med utgangspunkt i det gamle samferdselsnettet er det i dag ryddet og merket sammenhengende turløyper.
