The Lakes Route takes you on a journey across postcard Switzerland. From Lake Geneva to Lake Constance, it passes by ten larger and smaller lakes and offers you magnificent views over the water to the Alps and Pre-Alps.

A cool underworld in the Höllgrotten, a fierce battle world at the crystal-clear Ägerisee, an orchid, peat and insect world in the Rothenthurm High Moor and a bustling pilgrim world in the pilgrimage site Einsiedeln.
