マイアースカッペルの峠・トップ5

A little off the road there is the possibility to take drinking water

This is where the cantonal border between Lucerne and Schwyz lies. Originally, the Vitznau Rigi Railway was only allowed to run as far as Staffelhöhe. For a long time, it was not allowed to cross the cantonal border from Lucerne to Schwyz. The reason was that the people of Schwyz wanted to promote the Arth Rigi Railway, which lies on Schwyz soil. It was not until two years later (1873) that the railway was extended to Rigi Kulm (1752 m above sea level). This section lies in the territory of the canton of Schwyz, for which the VRB does not have a concession. The line belongs to the ARB and was leased by the Vitznau-Rigi Railway. It was not until 1990 that a track connection was established between the ARB and VRB in Rigi Staffel. This was the beginning of the merger, which was completed in 1992 and also includes the Weggis–Rigi Kaltbad cable car (LWRK).
