- Destination: Flüelen
After the village of Bauen, you reach a romantic path along the lake. It leads you through various galleries with fireplaces to the boat station in Isleten. Due to the acute danger of rocks, the trail runs through a road tunnel for the last 400 metres. In Isleten, you can take the postbus to Isenthal and Altdorf. Alternatively, you can hike directly along Lake Uri on a flat path to Seedorf. Halfway along, you will see the Bolzbach power station, where water from the Isenthal is converted into electricity.
Shortly before Flüelen, the path turns left into the nature reserve at the Reuss delta. Now you have a choice: either follow the path along the lake or go straight through the nature reserve. Both paths take you to the Reuss, which you cross over a wooden bridge. Finally, the path leads you directly to the railway, bus and boat station in Flüelen am See.
