Hiking
The Tellsplatte on Lake Uri is a central location in the William Tell legend. It is said that Tell left the boat here after his famous leap. Today, the Tell Chapel with its frescoes and the large carillon, which plays melodies hourly, stand there. The site offers impressive views of the lake and mountains and lies directly on the Swiss Path. It can be reached by boat, on foot from Sisikon or Flüelen, or via the Axenstrasse road.
