Directions

From the boat station, walk to the village square and climb up Rigiblickstrasse (between the school building and the parish church). At the top, the road turns sharply left (signpost to Kurhaus St. Otmar). After the last house on the right (at the car park), the path leads first along the edge of the wood and then through the woods in a wide arc to the Rigiblick viewpoint. There is even a barbecue area there. We continue along the circular path and soon reach the edge of the woods again above the car park. Now we turn left across the meadow to the hiking trail that leads past the stables to the stream. Now we turn left, cross the roundabout and walk along Luzernerstrasse past the Neubühl supermarket. Before the Hotel Alpenblick, we turn right into Parkstrasse and walk through the municipal park down to the shores of Lake Lucerne and on to the Weggis boat station.
