The short detour on the Swiss route takes you through the forest from Morschach to Brunnen. At Axenstein, you can enjoy the full splendor of the Lake Lucerne panorama.

Morschach is located on the Swiss route, which leads from Rütli to the destination Brunnen. In Morschach, you join the Swiss route, which gently ascends to the viewpoint Axenstein. The small terrace offers a magnificent view of Lake Lucerne and across to the Schillerstein, which stands in the water at the shore on the other side of the lake. From there, it continues along a cozy and well-developed path through the forest towards Brunnen.
