December 3, 2022,Waldstätterweg 98.3, Küssnacht am Rigi bis Luzern

Promenade with a view of the Alps - from Küssnacht through the nature reserves in Wagenmoos to the banks of Meggen and Meggehorn Castle. Approaching the city of Lucerne and marching in via the 19th-century tourist avenue, the quay with a distant view of the Alps.

The initial stretch through the nature reserve is highly recommended! Unfortunately, the trail then runs mostly through the residential area of Meggen and up to Lucerne on paved roads.

July 6, 2026,🇨🇭 Waldstätterweg Etappe 3: Küssnacht – Luzern

With a view of the Rigi, we start another stage around Lake Lucerne from Küssnacht.
The weather offered quite a bit today, from blue skies to special cloud formations, and when I went for a swim in the lake, it became cloudy for a short time, with a light breeze; it couldn't have been nicer by the lake.
