Swiss Activities Tip

The Rütli Oath is said to have been signed on the Rütli meadow in 1291. The alliance was made by representatives of the three original cantons of Uri, Schwyz and Unterwalden (now Obwalden and Nidwalden). This is why the Rütli, as the "cradle of Switzerland", has the character of a national monument. There is a Seelisberg-Rütli hiking trail with information boards.
