Vitznau

Vitznau / LU

Vitznau was first mentioned in 998. In the 19th century it became a popular destination for tourism, especially from England; the imposing Park Hotel Vitznau west of town dates from the 1900s.

Vitznau liegt am Ufer des Vierwaldstättersees an einer Ausbuchtung des Weggiserbeckens - und gleichzeitig am Südfuss der Rigi. Wegen dieser geschützten Lage verfügt die Gemeinde über ein aussergewöhnlich mildes Klima, wo sogar Wein und Palmen gedeihen.
