July 30, 2022,Wanderung nach Aufstieg/Abstieg zum Vitznauerstock/Gersauerstock

Ascent from Vitznau, counterclockwise to the Vitznauerstock and then back to the Wissifluh cable car (two beers included at the finish 😎). A beautiful hike.

A scenic spring hike with a beautiful view of Lake Lucerne. Surefootedness and a head for heights are required.

The summit actually has two summit crosses and two names: the Vitznauerstock with a view of Vitznau, and the Gersauerstock with a view of Gersau. Don't miss it!
