The Lakes Route takes you on a journey through some of the most scenic parts of Switzerland. Between Lake Geneva and Lake Constance, it passes ten lakes of varying sizes, offering glorious across-the-water views to the Alps and Prealps.
A chilly subterranean experience in the Höllgrotten caves; a grim battle site by crystal-clear Lake Ägeri; a world of orchids, peat and insects on the Rothenthurm upland moor; and a busy pilgrimage destination in Einsiedeln.
