Section of the Weg der Schweiz
The hike starts in Brunnen and follows the Weg der Schweiz in the direction of Flüelen from the very beginning. The route initially leads through the surroundings of Brunnen and then climbs up towards Morschach. Along the way, beautiful views of the Vierwaldstättersee and the surrounding mountains open up.
Afterwards, the route continues along the Weg der Schweiz towards Sisikon. This historic path was laid out in 1991 to mark the 700th anniversary of the Swiss Confederation. Along the way, various sections of the path and markers commemorate Swiss history. A particularly beautiful vantage point is the Axenstein-Känzeli, which offers a sweeping view over the Vierwaldstättersee.
From Morschach, the path leads back down to Sisikon and then continues along the lakeshore. The landscape now changes significantly: steep rock faces, wooded slopes, and the deep blue water of the Urnersee accompany the hike. The route continues towards Flüelen via the Tellsplatte and past the Tellskapelle. The Tellsplatte commemorates the famous legend of Wilhelm Tell and is one of the most well-known historical sites around the Vierwaldstättersee.
On the final section, the path follows the shore of the Urnersee. There are repeatedly beautiful spots right by the water before finally reaching Flüelen.
