Since the Pragel Pass is closed to motorized traffic on weekends, it's perfect for a ride amidst the tranquility and beauty of nature. The climb from the Schwyz side is quite challenging right away, with the first few kilometers being particularly steep. Then, towards the top, it levels off somewhat.

In this sharp bend there is a passing place for large vehicles and a bench with a wonderful view of the lake. Here you can safely get off your bike away from the road and enjoy the view of the Uri region.

Beautiful waterfall visible from the road to the west of Lake Lucerne. The steep cliffs of the surrounding mountains rise up to either side of the river.
