Hike Stansstad to Kehrsiten, Swim & Drinks in Luzern

Brief description: Starting in Stansstad, this scenic route takes us towards Kehrsiten, offering magnificent initial views of Lake Lucerne and Mount Pilatus. As we continue along the Felsenweg (rock path), we are treated to incredibly beautiful panoramas of the lake and the city of Lucerne. A wonderful spot for a break is the "Chänzeli" on the Bürgenstock, a somewhat hidden viewpoint on the ridge featuring a small platform and benches to take in the scenery. The route also brings us to the famous Bürgenstock funicular (Standseilbahn) before we complete our hike in Kehrsiten.

Optional: From Stansstad, we take a boat to Luzern, and can go for a swim, grab some dinner or have a drink together.
