A touch of southern ambiance - From Brunnen on the Waldstätterquai, the square dedicated to the Swiss living abroad and on the lake side to Brünischart and the start of the mountain trail through almost Mediterranean-like forest vegetation with wonderful panoramic views. Vitznau is reached via Gersau.

Note(s)
Route number 98 is always signposted. As regional route of the SwitzerlandMobility network, it is signposted throughout and in both directions.

Yes the way between Brünischart - Fallenbach is still closed until end of 2021. The alternative way goes on the sidewalk to mainstreet. Not nice but you can walk there.

Guten Tag Frau Marbach Die offiziellen Wanderwege von Brunnen nach Vitznau sind nicht Kinderwagen tauglich. Der Gersauerstrasse / Seestrasse entlang gibt es durchgängig ein Trottoir oder Gehweg bis nach Vitznau. Auf diesem Abschnitt herrscht allerdings viel Verkehr und ist mit dem Kinderwagen nicht zu empfehlen. Freundliche Grüsse Stefan Gwerder
