I agree with @Tichi. The route is truly dangerous; the cars drive fast and show little consideration for the bikers. I've never been more scared for myself than on this route! Take care 🐞☘️.

The panoramic trail is very easy to walk, although it's also graveled for a long stretch... not always easy with a stroller 😂 You can also take several paths parallel to the main trail, but these are, of course, only intended for hiking and are not wheelchair accessible. For example, the Felsenweg offers beautiful views of Lake Lucerne 👍

A fantastic environment for biking, flat along the lake, and lots of trails and paths on the sides, with possible high altitudes. Something for everyone! It's pure pleasure to be here!
