Viewpoint over Lake Lucerne

Highlight • Viewpoint

The hike to this viewpoint above Rotschuo offers one of the most breathtaking panoramas of Lake Lucerne. You will stand above the sparkling blue waters of the lake, framed by steep green hills and rugged Alpine peaks. The bench allows you to admire the view across the lake to historic towns such as Weggis and Vitznau. High above the lake and on little-used paths, you can enjoy this view in peace and quiet.
