Stans

Stans is a municipality near Lake Lucerne. It is bordered by the mountains Stanserhorn and Buochserhorn, which reach an altitude of 1800 to 1900 m above sea level. The western foothills of the Bürgenstock also border the municipality. The local mountain is the Stanserhorn, which you can reach in two stages by a nostalgic funicular and a modern convertible cable car. Gallo-Roman cremations dating back to the 2nd century BC have been found in Stans. Worth seeing is the Schmiedgasse with the Waltersbärgli as a particularly old part of the village of Stans.
