Day's Overview
In Lucerne we will ride through town on dedicated bike lanes.
Then we ascend up to the Dietschiberg hill and stop for one of the best views of Lucerne. The trip continues through Lucerne’s first established golf course (1925) with great views of the surrounding Alps and countryside.
We cruise downhill on gravel roads and pass farm houses that sell locally produced food. Payment is with the honesty system: simply put money in the box with a slot. The non-alcoholic apple cider is a favorite.

We stop off at a local water fountain, top off our water bottles while watching the horses grazing at the nearby horse farm.
We then enter the small lakeside resort of Kuessnacht am Rigi and avoid the traffic by taking side roads.
Soon, we arrive at the historic “Hohle Gasse” where one can listen and see the William Tell story told by a unique audio-visual presentation.
This is place where the legendary William Tell shot Gessler. There is also a historic William Tell chapel worth a stop and visit.
