Das Rütli mit dem E-Rollstuhl "JST Mountain Drive" entdecken
On the road in the middle of the cradle of Switzerland:
For all Swiss people, the Rütli is associated with the founding history of Switzerland. From the Rütli you have a wonderful view of Lake Lucerne, fountains and the Mythen. With the all-terrain electric wheelchair JST Mountain Drive, you can easily reach the oath place of the old Confederates despite the incline.
"We want to be a single people of brothers, in no need to separate us and danger." This is how Friedrich Schiller began the Rütli oath in 1804 in his drama "William Tell".
On the Rütli, representatives of the original cantons of Uri, Schwyz and Unterwalden are said to have sworn the Rütlibund in 1291, which determined the joint action against the foreign bailiffs in their valleys. Today, the Rütli meadow is often referred to as the "cradle of Switzerland" or the founding site of Switzerland and is of great national importance. The historic place is not only worth a visit because of its past: here you can also just let your mind wander.
Discover the Rütli with the "JST Mountain Drive" electric wheelchair
The journey into the founding history of Switzerland begins in Brunnen at the boat station. After taking over the all-terrain electric wheelchair JST Mountain Drive, you can enjoy a ten-minute boat trip across the wildly romantic Lake Uri to the Rütli boat station.
This is where the ascent to the Rütli meadow begins – the symbolic birthplace of the Swiss Confederation. The path leads through lush meadows and offers a worthwhile detour to the picnic area after the first climb. From here, a magnificent view of the green-blue Lake Uri opens up.
Back on the main path, the route continues to the historic Schwurplatz, where the Rütli oath is said to have taken place in 1291. Since the 19th century, a limestone rock from the canton of Schwyz has stood here, from which three springs spring – a symbol for the original cantons of Uri, Schwyz and Unterwalden.
If you drive a little further, you will reach the upper stable and the Rütli meadow - a particularly atmospheric place to let the spirit of the Rütli work its magic on you in peace.
Rütlihaus
A traditional restaurant with a long history awaits you. The hosts will spoil you with delicious Swiss specialities. In doing so, cooperation with regional producers is close to their hearts. Quality and Swiss origin are the top priorities for the host. Enjoy cosy hours in the rustic parlours of the Rütlihaus, under the shady arbours or on the large garden terrace, with a unique view over Lake Uri.
Electric wheelchair "JST Mountain Drive"
The all-terrain electric wheelchair can be rented at the Tourist Info Brunnen directly at the boat station. A 10-minute boat trip with the Lake Lucerne Shipping Company takes passengers with the all-terrain electric wheelchair to the Rütli boat station. The path then leads from the boat station to the Rütlihaus and via the Schwurplatz to the Rütli meadow. The picnic area is also easily accessible with an all-terrain wheelchair.
Combine the trip to the Rütli with a visit to the Swiss Charter Museum Schwyz.
