Follow the ancient Roman path from Sursee. Enjoy the view of the lake and mountains and be fascinated by the unique cultural treasures of Beromünster.

On the cultural route between Sursee and Beromünster, you will discover an idyllic landscape, a fantastic view, and unique cultural heritage. The Roman road, a tranquil high-altitude path, leads from Schenkon to Eich. It is an old transit route on which travelers, merchants, pilgrims, and soldiers moved north to south across the country for centuries. From here, a beautiful panorama opens up with Lake Sempach in the foreground and the impressive peaks of the Central Swiss Alps behind.

Discover the Lucerne rural community of Beromünster, which literally offers a treasure trove of cultural and historical assets. Visit the collegiate chapter with the collegiate church, which houses an extremely impressive church treasure. The treasure includes liturgical objects spanning 1,300 years and is not only one of the most important medieval and baroque church treasures in Switzerland but also of significance on the European stage.
