Especially in summer, when it's hot, very nice. With many possibilities for grilling. Best in the early morning.

The gorge near Vitznau, often called the Vitznau Gorge, lies between the village center and the ascent towards Rigi. A short hiking trail leads through steep cliffs, over bridges, and alongside a clear stream. The natural spectacle, with its waterfalls and moss-covered walls, is particularly impressive after rain.

I always wonder if something was artificially added or if this waterfall was created exactly like this.

Recommended in both directions. Pleasantly cool in summer thanks to the Lorze and the shade of the trees. There are always beautiful, flat sections of the river, also for swimming.
