View of Lake Lucerne from the Axenflue

Highlight • Viewpoint

With its impressive rock faces and mirror-smooth water, Lake Lucerne certainly doesn't have to shy away from comparison with a Norwegian fjord. From here, high above the water on the Axenflue, you have a particularly beautiful perspective of the lake.

It is a feast for the eyes along the Axenstraße. Contrary to the research in advance, I found the ride as good and pleasant. As a cyclist, I had no problem driving along here.

June 10, 2025,Hiking Tour Weg der Schweiz 🇨🇭 Flüelen-Glockenspiel-Tellsplatte-Sisikon

A long-desired hike in my favorite canton of Uri 💜. Beautiful views of Lake Uri and the surrounding mountains. The glockenspiel is amazing, and the Tellsplatte (Tell Plate) and the associated Swiss history are awe-inspiring and make you understand why the Swiss are so proud of their country. Highly recommended!

The "Swiss Path" runs largely along forest paths here and the Tellskapelle can also be …
