Excursions 
When the steamer "Gallia"- arrives on Lake Lucerne's Lake Uri at Brunnen,
on its way from Lucerne to Flüelen, even the passengers travelling
first class lay down their silver cutlery and succumb to the pull of
history. Just around the corner, the Schiller Stone pays tribute to the
creator of "William Tell"-, a national epic, and in the distance lies
the Tellsplatte, steeped in legend. A short distance further on and the
steamer arrives
at Rütli, the birthplace of the original confederation and the start of
the "Swiss Path"-. Follow this trail to historical locations and
picturesque beaches, passing spots perfect for windsurfing and sheer
rock faces along 35 km of wonderful views.
Full steam through history.
