Hiking German-Speaking Switzerland

The Swiss Way was built to mark the 700th anniversary of the Confederation (1291-1991). The 35-kilometre route, in the construction of which all the Swiss cantons participated, begins at the Rütli, the birthplace of the Confederation. It then runs along the shores of Lake Uri and ends in Brunnen, at the Place of the Swiss Abroad. The well-maintained and signposted theme trail links interesting sites such as Schiller's Rock, the pilgrimage chapel dedicated to Maria Sonnenberg and the small castles of Beroldinge.
