Lucerne is known for the Lions-Monument, the mountain pasture Rigi and the Kappel-bridge. Still, the city has so much more to offer: picturesquely situated on the Lake of Lucerne this city is the gate to the heart of Switzerland, the homeland of Wilhelm Tell and the founding place of the Swiss confederation.
Situated outside of the town centre, Hotel Seeburg is the ideal starting point for bicycle tours in this region. You will discover an idyllic landscape with medieval city centers, Switzerland’s impressive mountain panoramas and beautiful lakes. Come and discover the heart of Switzerland – it will amaze you!
This tour leads over some smooth hill next to the lake from where you have wonderful views on Lake Lucerne and the famous mountain pasture Rigi. Green meadows and calm streets make the city seem very far away.
After some kilometres you reach Küssnacht with its lake promenade and continue to Weggis where the ship brings you to the other side of the lake. From here you cycle to the peninsula Horw, from where it is easy to cycle back to the city.
From the town centre of Lucerne you go through a small village called Emmenbrücke and up to a small quiet hill, where you find many beautiful farm houses. There are some ups and downs in this part but you have a lovely view on the close mountain panorama. After some time you reach the monastery Werthenstein und from here you roll smoothly back to Lucerne.
Today’s goal is the picturesque town Sursee situated on the shore of Lake Sempach. You cycle past small villages on calm streets and past farms and meadows until you reach the lake. Sursee is a perfect spot for a lunch break. Take your time to walk through the lovely town centre and try some Swiss specialities. The way back leads on the shore of the lake.
The first part of this route is already known from the first days tour. As soon as you reach Küssnacht you make your way to Lake Zug and go on a boat tour to the city of Zug. From here you cycle along the shore until you reach a quiet path back to the city of Lucerne.
You go past Emmenbrücke to find Lake Baldegg, which is a wonderful nature sanctuary. Next to the lake you can visit castle Wildegg with its beautiful garden. You may visit this castle before you cycle one last time back to your hotel.

Verbesserungswürdig
Die Reise war "standartmäßig" Übernachtung mit Frühstück gebucht. In den persönlichen Reiseunterlagen war allerdings für den ersten Tag "Halbpension beim Check-In" angegeben, was wir als zusätzliche Aufmerksamkeit verstanden und auch genutzt haben. Weiter stand in den Reiseunterlagen, dass der hoteleigene Stellplatz für 10 Franken zur Verfügung stehe. Auch hier wurden wir seitens des Hotel hingewiesen, dass hierfür 24 Franken zu zahlen sind. Insgesamt Zusatzkosten von rund 160 Euro. Schade.

Schön
Hotel an top Lage, leider mit einer sehr befahrenen Strasse und einer Bar mit viel Betrieb und lauter Musik bis spät in die Nacht. Die Velotouren waren sehr schön und gut geplant. Die Schifffahrten ein Genuss.

Vielen Dank für Ihre Rückmeldung zum Hotel Seeburg. Gerade bei einer Sternfahrt ist das Hotel ein wichtiger Punkt – es tut mir leid, dass sie davon nicht komplett überzeugt waren. Ich werde die Leute vom Hotel darauf hinweisen, dass die Sunsetbar unsere Gäste stört. Vielleicht kann man hier ja kurzfristig Abhilfe verschaffen.
