Description
By boat, we reach the mysterious cradle of the Swiss Confederation: the Rütli meadow. From here we hike through a romantic landscape heading north. Soon we arrive at the historic youth hostel Seelisberg. The view stretches over Lake Uri, the Fronalpstock to the two Mythen and further to the Urmiberg. As soon as the path turns west around the ridge, the view opens towards Rigi and Lucerne with the Pilatus. We reach the hamlet of Volligen. The restaurant has one of the most beautiful viewing terraces in all of Central Switzerland. We continue hiking through alpine meadows and a primeval forest to Beckenried.
