Küssnacht

The road from Lucerne descends to Küssnacht (440 m/1,444ft), from which the main road (No. 2) continues via Arth to Brunnen. The more attractive road via Weggis and Gersau branches off on the right and follows closely to the east side of the Küssnachter See, passing through pleasant countryside below the west side of the Rigi. In 0.5km/0.25mi, it passes the lower station of the cableway to the Seebodenalp (on left). In 5km/3mi, on right, is the village of Greppen (454 m/1,490ft). The road now climbs (beautiful view of the lake to the rear) over a hill, with the Hertenstein peninsula to the right, and runs down to a junction. Here a road on the right leads to the popular resort of Weggis.
