The best thing about renting a car to go to Lucerne is got to drive around the lake and see other places like Altdorf. What an amazing little town nestled in the mountains and this is its signature monument and piece of history. Uri and Altdorf are so stereotypical Swiss, a small valley village surrounded by tall, snow capped mountains on a lake, that you miss the fact that it is the historical beginning of Switzerland and William Tell is the legend that explains it. Around 1300, 3 cantons with Uri being the central one wanted to overthrow Hapsburg rule and be independent. They joined forces on a lakeside meadow and the rest is factual history. The allegory story to explain this whole event is William Tell. At this point it is impossible to tell if he is real or simply legend but his story explains the birth of Switzerland and he is factually set in Altdorf the historical center of Switzerland and Uri. For me this why I felt compelled to come to understand the beginning of Switzerland. As for the monument, it is beautiful in the afternoon sun surround in the town square and the mountains. I truly believe if you come to Switzerland, you really need to visit this monument and the Tellskapelle.

I have visited last weekend gorge Schoellen including devils bridge and Suworow-Denmark. I can strongly recommend seeing this place as views are spectacular but you should definelty just add obligatory 2 more stops that I guess not that many knows or considers: 00:00 Reussbrücke 03:33 Häderlisbrücke 06:20 Devils Bridge TEUFELSBRÜCKE You can see views in the video on YouTube channel Healing Sound of Nature posted today on 03.08.2020, title: “Devils Bridge TEUFELSBRÜCKE & Andermatt gorge - best places in Switzerland”. Check the video and get inspired ???????? Sun rays at noon ???? 12 are making an amazing light structure ???? I guess no one ever pointed that out. Therefore chose a sunny day and be there at noon ????to experience that on your own.
