Rigi Scheidegg - Hinter Dossen - Rigi Burggeist - Rigi Scheidegg

Legendary how many legends there are about Rigi. On this hike, you can explore the mystical stories of the Queen of the Mountains.

Legends are stories that are told over and over again. What is really true and what is not is difficult to prove. You should definitely hike the Legendary Bench Trail, as the seats are located at wonderful viewpoints with a dreamlike view into the valley.

In the Rigi Scheidegg Burggeist area, you can comfortably sit down on over 20 benches and calmly read the Rigi legends. The Legendary Bench Trail offers insights into long-gone times.
