Ideally, the journey starts from Lucerne or Weggis/Vitznau by boat at the historic Rütli. The hiking trail initially ascends to the Hotel & Naturhaus Bellevue in Seelisberg, where a fine Central Swiss lunch awaits. In the afternoon, it continues comfortably along the "Path of Switzerland" to the idyllic village of Bauen, where a delicious dessert at Restaurant Fischli right by the lake awaits. The scenic return trip by boat to Vitznau/Weggis or Lucerne perfectly rounds off the hike.
