“Excellent and well worth a visit”
Muotathal
Muotathal is a village in a valley surrounded by mountains east of Lake Lucerne. The river Muota flows through the valley and flows into Lake Lucerne at Brunnen. The village, situated at 610 m above sea level, has about 3500 inhabitants and is surrounded by unspoiled and idyllic nature. The landscape is characterized by alpine meadows, forests, mountains, waterfalls and the rushing waters of the Muota. Among the special natural spectacles is one of the world's largest cave systems, the Hölloch. It includes more than 200 km of karst cave system. The entrance is located above the hamlet of Stalden. In the Muotathal area, below the Pragel Pass, there is also the largest primeval spruce forest in Europe. Bödmeren covers 550 hectares and can be reached by a 3-hour hike. The largest karst area in Switzerland is the stony landscape of the Silberen. It is reached from the Pragelpass.

“It was a fabulous day starting with a boat trip up the lake to Vitznau, then stepping onto the train up to Rigi Kaltbad. The mineral baths were totally relaxing, from the bubble pools to the stunning outdoor views, plus the herbal steam room, mineral pool tranquility and sauna. A truly sensational day.”
“Some of the audio guides didn't work. A really lovely exhibition — it was well worth it.”
“For me, it was a very good guided tour, even though, as a long-time resident of Einsiedeln (Matura 1964), I already knew quite a lot. On today's visit, I brought along a young man from the neighbourhood who had never been to Einsiedeln before. It was an interesting experience for both of us.”
“I really liked it”
“Too many people, hard to hear in the back.”
