Hike
A leisurely hike from the historic Rütli along the "Path of Switzerland" to the idyllic village of Bauen, accompanied by culinary specialties from the region.

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.
