Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Take the cable car from Engelbert & get off at the first station. There is a loop walk to the waterfall - generally flat to the base, but rugged climb after that to the top - great views. Then walk down the other side - easier descent.
Then do the loop walk around the lake - easy walking on gravel track. Great views.
There are a couple of cafe facilities, picnic areas & a BBQ area.
Also, a trail for children & variety of activities.

This is a lake halfway up the cable car ride to Titlis from Engelberg. The view of the mountain from the lake is fantastic and the lake has self driven row boating and several trekking trails around the lake. Is peaceful. There were benches and a hammock around lake to sit and look at the lake and the mountains above. Has cows with traditional bells around their necks, grazing in the pasture below, but beware of the electrified fence. This is also the point where alternate cable car to the Mt. Titlis peak can be used other than the revolving cable car, we did not try this though.

Lake Trubsee is at the Cable car station midway. Very serene atmosphere once you trek down to the lake.

While coming down from Mt Titlis to Engelberg , get down at Trubsee station and then just walk down for 10 min to reach this beautiful lake. If you do not see this lake, definitely you will miss something. If you have time, do spend sometime moving around the lake. It would surely remain as a great memory. If you find a cafe open, may try some coffee. The view of Mt Titlis from the this place and the valley of Engelberg down is amazing.

I love this place so much. I have been there multiple times and cant get bored of this location.
I can strongly recommend a beautiful hike from Truebsee to Engstensee and further called MARMOT ROUTE I had even a chance to meet marmots on my way but for that you need to remember to be really really quite.
I did that hike on few occasions, started from Engelberg with cable car to Truebsee however you can as well start on another side Engstensee where you can directly arrive with your car without a need to pay for mountain lift (which can be pricey for a group or a good saving in favour of other attractions).
1 - Spectacular views on YouTube channel HSN Healing Sound of Nature:
“Marmot route from Truebsee /Engelberg, amazing nature of Switzerland”.
Channel: Healing Sound of Nature
2- Nature sounds video from this valley from
Engstlensee lake “Healing Sound of Nature Swiss Mountain Lake Music -Engstensee relaxation, meditation, sleep HSN”,
and Waterfall "Swiss Mountain Waterfall Nature Sounds Music - Engelberg relaxation, meditation, sleep, chill out”
Channel: "HSN Healing Sound of Nature" - in search option chose channel
Just to let you know Channel was set up to share healing sound of nature therefore you can find within available videos as well 2 for 1h each presenting peacefulness of that place:
1. Engstlensee lake - “Healing Sound of Nature Swiss Mountain Lake Music -Engstensee relaxation, meditation, sleep HSN”
2. Little waterfall with river falling to Truebsee -“Swiss Mountain Waterfall Nature Sounds Music - Engelberg relaxation, meditation, sleep, chill out”
Enjoy views of the hike and available nature sounds

An easy trip up to the Trübsee! Definitely worth it plus it's an easy walk around the lake. Fantastic views across the valley!

I think most people skip this stop but resist the urge, It is a beautiful walk out to the lake and extremely peaceful. Nice place to unwind with some chocolate you bought at the top of the mountain.

Getting out of the gondola really pays off!
Nice walking way around the lake and for the more adventurous among us there is a very nice walk back down to Engelberg.
Downside: tourism and the changes that come with it. On the other hand, benched are placed on the most beautiful views.
Still, lovely place to visit.

I plan to go in November. Is it possible to stop at Trubsee Lake and then keep going to Titlis? Is it included in the same ticket or do I need to buy another ticket?
