View of Lake Lucerne

This viewpoint is along a very nice path between Beckenried and Seelisberg. This part is not urbanised: only cliffs, hiking trail and beautiful landscape!

It's always worth getting off the highway and down to the lake to explore the area.
In the quiet depths of nature, where few venture, a secret gem lies dormant - the majestic yet little-known gorge in Beckenried...

Was a nice hike. Certain places went steeply upwards.

Wonderful hike, especially in these warm temperatures! ☀️

You hike to the Risleten rocks on a tarred road, mostly along Lake Lucerne. Then you continue on hiking trails. Immediately after you have passed the gorge, the path requires some stamina, as it overcomes about 300 meters in altitude in a short distance. After that, the hike is very pleasant with …

A beautiful hike with a view of Lake Lucerne and the Mythen. Unfortunately, about half of the hike is on a barely used asphalt road. For the other half, you should be sure-footed and wear hiking boots. After a steep climb, a great view of Lake Lucerne and the Mythen beckons. We returned from Treib to Beckenried by boat, journey …

Just WOW; it has everything to offer. Start at the lake through the quiet neighborhood, recreation area with super nice barbecue areas, then a slight climb away from the lake with beautiful views and then back down to the lake to the barbecue area at the dinosaur footprints. Also a nice place with barbecue
