Oberbauenstock, Mountain summit in Uri and Nidwalden, Switzerland
The Oberbauenstock rises to 2,117 meters above sea level, featuring steep slopes and rock formations that shape its distinct profile against Lake Lucerne.

Hikers can access the summit through multiple T3-rated paths, with the Niederbauen cable car providing initial elevation gain to 1,570 meters.
