Up to the Risleten rocks you walk on a paved road, mostly along Lake Lucerne. Then it continues on hiking trails. Just after passing the gorge, the path requires some stamina as it ascends about 300 meters in a short distance. After that, the hike is very pleasant with slight ups and downs.
The hike is also recommended in less than ideal weather. It is especially interesting if it rained the day before, as then a lot of water rushes down through the gorge.
The return trip from Treib to Beckenried is enjoyed relaxed by ship. Of course, the hike can also be undertaken in the opposite direction.

Climbing on the large Risleten rocks: Information about the Risleten climbing garden can be found here.
