Route of Rigi Tell

The walk to the fantastic lookout at Känzeli is initially flat, so you can get off to a gentle start. The view from the lookout of Lake Lucerne's Kreuztrichter basin is unforgettable. There's also a memorial featuring Goethe's diary entry about his visit to Mt. Rigi. From Känzeli, the trail follows the same route taken by Queen Victoria of England (on horseback) in 1886: a steep but safe descent through the shady Mt. Rigi forest takes you via Alp Räb and Chrüzboden to the cosy alpine pub Ruedisegg. From there the trail flattens out again until Seebodenalp, then descends gently to Küssnacht where William Tell finished off Gessler with his crossbow in a narrow sunken lane.
