Gitschital Bike offers you a fantastic combination between Lake Lucerne and mountain valley. This varied route, full of challenging climbs, takes you into a quiet and remote side valley.

From Altdorf station, head north to Wild Ried and then west on a field path to Unterdorf. Besides a visit to the A Pro castle and its mineral exhibition, an additional loop to Lake Uri with its bathing islands called Lorelei is recommended. After the turnoff at St. Lazarus monastery, whose origins date back to the Middle Ages and is the oldest monastery in the canton of Uri, the route steadily climbs to the Gitschital forest road. This winding road with steep climbs is quite challenging. Before entering the tunnel into the Gitschital, you should definitely stop at the Stotzigen viewpoint – the view of the Reuss delta is breathtaking. The last 3 kilometers lead through cool forest sections and alpine pastures before reaching the Gitschitaler Boden, the highest point of the route.
On the same way, take the descent to Bodenwald under your wheels. Then head south via the baron village, with a view of the historic castle ruins of Attinghausen, back to the starting point.
