View of Rathausen Monastery

Highlight • Religious Site

In Rathausen stands a former Cistercian convent. Later, it became a foundation for people with severe disabilities (SSBL).

The Rathausen power plant was built between 1894 and 1896 on the site of the former convent mill.

Rotsee (LU) Easy Hike

Highlight • Lake

This hike can be done all year round. This hike can be started from various public parking lots (subject to fees).

See my comment about this hike, there is more information about this hike.

For clothing I recommend very good trekking shoes, as well as good and comfortable clothes.

View of the Rotsee

Highlight • Lake

The path around the Rotsee is a popular walking path (jogging path) which is not technically demanding. There is hardly any elevation gain. A large part of the path is tarred, otherwise there are pebble sections. On the south side between the Rotsee ferry and the Rotseebadi, there is an idyllic root path directly along the shore.

Rathausen Bridge

Highlight • River

When running back and forth along rivers, you always have to ask yourself which bridge to choose to get to the other bank and thus on the way back. Here is one possibility, with a beautiful view of the river as so often.
