The "Cradle of Switzerland" culinary tour starts in Brunnen with an aperitif at Lakeside directly on the Brunnen lakeside promenade (please allow enough time for this).
The journey continues by boat, which takes you from Brunnen to Treib. There you have a direct connection to the Treib-Seelisberg cable car. From Seelisberg, it's a leisurely hike to the Rütli meadow.
Lunch is served in the Rütlihaus restaurant. You choose either a main course with or without meat and a 3-liter soft drink is served with it.
Incidentally, directly below the Rütlihaus restaurant you will find the Schwurplatz, where the alliance is said to have been concluded in 1291.
Strengthened, you then take the boat to Brunnen. Your culinary tour ends at the Restaurant Bellevue in Brunnen with a surprise dessert.
