Sursee

Small town hopping

Discover the small-town gem Sursee

The picturesque little town of Sursee lies at the northern end of Lake Sempach.

The historic old town with the Sure stream, which flows openly through the town, as well as lively squares, the late Gothic town hall and a multitude of fountains, invites you to take a leisurely stroll and linger. At the Ramseier Erlebniswelt, those thirsting for knowledge can learn in an interactive way how the apple gets from the tree into the bottle, while golf is played on a somewhat different course at the seminar centre. Just outside the town, a particularly tempting speciality awaits you: in the Kaltbach cave, cheese wheels mature in the unique cave climate and develop their characteristic flavour.
