Kussnacht

Kussnacht, locally spelled Küssnacht, sits on Lake Lucerne in Switzerland’s canton of Schwyz, where the lower slopes of Mount Rigi meet a sheltered lakeshore. The town lies between Lake Lucerne and Lake Zug, with strong rail and road connections across central Switzerland. Its defining local tradition is Klausjagen, held every 5 December: participants parade with enormous illuminated bishop’s mitres, bells and whips in a vigorous observance of St Nicholas Eve. Nearby, the Hohle Gasse is associated with the William Tell legend, while the waterfront lends itself to unhurried walks.
