Experience history up close
Experience Swiss history aboard the MS Tell. The journey takes you to Tellsplatte near Sisikon, where, according to legend, William Tell leaped from Bailiff Gessler’s boat, and to the Tell Chapel, which commemorates this legendary moment. On the other side of the lake, the charming village of Bauen awaits you—the birthplace of Father Alberik Zwyssig, composer of the Swiss national anthem. The journey continues to Isleten, the starting point of industrialization in Uri, where iron was mined and Alfred Nobel founded an explosives factory. In Flüelen, you’ll experience the impressive Axen Road, which was built with the support of Guillaume-Henri Dufour as a vital link to the Gotthard Pass. You’ll also discover historic port facilities and Rudenz Castle, which is closely linked to shipping and Gotthard traffic. Immerse yourself in history and enjoy the spectacular natural scenery of Lake Lucerne.
