View of Lake Lucerne from the Axenflue

Highlight • Viewpoint

With its impressive rock faces and mirror-smooth water, Lake Lucerne certainly doesn't have to shy away from comparison with a Norwegian fjord. From here, high above the water on the Axenflue, you have a particularly beautiful perspective of the lake.

Axenstrasse: Cliffside view of Lake Lucerne

Highlight • Viewpoint

It is a feast for the eyes along the Axenstraße. Contrary to the research in advance, I found the ride as good and pleasant. As a cyclist, I had no problem driving along here.

Carillon at Lake Lucerne

Highlight • Monument

The carillon at Tellsplatte in Sisikon is the largest in Switzerland. Its 37 bells play melodies hourly, controlled by magnetic hammers. It stands above the Tell Chapel directly on Lake Uri and is a popular stop on the Swiss Path. Visitors can choose from several pieces.

Thurgau Square

Highlight • Lake

It's simply breathtaking how the steep rock faces rise above Lake Uri - you feel very small in the face of the mighty mountains. Here you will find a shelter right on the water.

Tell Chapel

Highlight • Religious Site

Just a few meters from this point is the Tellsplatte - the stone slab on which William Tell climbed after jumping from the bailiff Gessler's boat. The Tell Chapel now stands here in honor of the Swiss national hero. The most important events in the Tell saga can be admired on the frescoes inside.

Right next to the chapel is the largest carillon in Switzerland, donated by Swiss chocolate manufacturers. The 37 bells weigh a total of over six tons. Every day on the hour, the bells play a song for ten minutes, which you can select beforehand at the push of a button.

September 6, 2024,Auf dem Weg der Schweiz 🇨🇭 FLÜELEN NACH SISIKON.👍☀️

I experienced a wonderful, easy hike on the Swiss Way, Flüelen - Sisikon, in very nice weather. ☀️👍
A very beautiful path runs in and along the vertical rock face above Lake Uri. It is very varied and always has a view of the lake and the wonderful mountains.
I pass the Tell Chapel and then also pass the carillon. …

June 10, 2025,Hiking Tour Weg der Schweiz 🇨🇭 Flüelen-Glockenspiel-Tellsplatte-Sisikon

A long-desired hike in my favorite canton of Uri 💜. Beautiful views of Lake Uri and the surrounding mountains. The glockenspiel is amazing, and the Tellsplatte (Tell Plate) and the associated Swiss history are awe-inspiring and make you understand why the Swiss are so proud of their country. Highly recommended!

June 15, 2023,SCHWEIZ: Axenstrasse Flüelen - vor Sisikon (Weg der Schweiz)

Note the route. I wasn't drunk, the navigator was. Actually it was only 11.1 km. Very strenuous, up and down and an additional 1554 steps - but beautiful path!!!

August 26, 2023,🇨🇭 Von Flüelen nach Sisikon "Weg der Schweiz"

My girlfriend and I actually wanted to walk another section of the "Swiss Path". Due to the onset of heavy rain, we modified our tour slightly and thus also reached Sisikon.
The trip to Flüelen and the return trip to Weggis was made by ship.
The "Swiss Path" runs largely along forest paths here and the Tellskapelle can also be …
