Beschrijving
The first human traces in the area around Stans date back to the 2nd century BC. In 1713, a fire destroyed two thirds of the village. Stans owes its stately baroque houses, the Winkelried fountain and the town hall to the drastic building regulations that were subsequently passed. The route leaves the village centre and soon crosses the river Engelberger Aa. After a little more than one and a half hours on paved roads, you reach Buochs, beautifully located between the lake and high mountains. The village was built on an alluvial plain between the Buochserhorn and the imposing panoramic Bürgenstock in the middle part of lake Lucerne.
After a good half hour along the lakeshore and another through residential neighbourhoods, you reach Beckenried. The holiday resort is located at the foot of the Klewenalp, the popular hiking region can be reached by cable car. After another thirty minutes, the Trans Swiss Trail separates from the Via Jacobi. While the latter climbs up to Emmetten and circles the pre-alpine mountain terrace, the Trans Swiss Trail continues to follow lake Lucerne to Risleten. Now you require more stamina: past the waterfall, the trail climbs a steep 200 metres to Haselholzboden.
The Via Jacobi rejoins the route at Haselholzboden. A fantastic, sometimes slightly exposed, but safe section now follows along the rocky ledge above lake Lucerne. While at Triglis, the Via Jacobi finally bids farewell heading towards the lake, the last hour of hiking continues along the road to Seelisberg. The holiday resort with a magnificent view of lake Lucerne and the two Mythen peaks is the destination of this almost six-hour hike.
De sleutel voor een prettige wandeltocht is onder andere een zorgvuldige planning. Win op voorhand inlichtingen in bij de plaatselijke informatiedienst over de toestand van het traject en de weersomstandigheden. Afhankelijk van het seizoen en de weersomstandigheden kan de route gesloten of onderbroken zijn.
