The small town of Sempach has a wealth of stories and legends, big and small, that are waiting to be discovered. The "Sempach: steeped in history" walk reveals well-known and hidden treasures of the 700-year-old, Wakker Prize-winning town.

Start at the Dreiangel parking lot or the Seevogtei parking lot. Then follow the red markers with the Sempach lion. The lion is still the symbol of the town of Sempach today.

At the original locations, you will meet Heini von Uri, Renata von Wartensee and the Sträggele witch, pass the Ox Gate and the Lion Monument, be gripped by gambling fever and enchanted by the beauty of the calla flower. It will be scary and beautiful at the same time. Set off on your journey.
