Details about the Swiss Path
To celebrate the 700th anniversary of the Swiss Confederation in 1991, all 26 cantons joined an initiative to create a new public walking trail in the heart of Switzerland and around the cradle of Swiss history. This fittingly named Swiss Path runs around the southernmost bay of Lake Lucerne, which is better known as Lake Uri. This particularly scenic and outright spectacular part of the Swiss Alps features dramatic landscapes with steep cliffs and towering pinnacles.The basic idea of the Swiss Trail is that it includes 26 different sections; one for each canton. The sequence of the sections is based on the chronological order in which the cantons joined the confederation, while the length of a section was determined by the population of each canton in 1991. At that time, every person in Switzerland was given 5 symbolic millimeters of path.
