This Grand Tour photo spot is located directly on the shores of Lake Uri - the most impressive part of Lake Lucerne - in Brunnen.

 In the distance you can see a patch of meadow, the Rütli. According to legend, this is the historic site where Switzerland was founded in 1291. Further back you can see a pyramid-shaped peak, the 2928 metre-high Urirotstock. Below the two mountains Niederbauen and Oberbauen lies the village of Seelisberg on a sunny terrace at 850 metres above sea level. Incidentally, Lake Lucerne is so named because it is embedded in the four forest regions of Uri, Schwyz, Obwalden, Nidwalden and Lucerne.
