Burglen

Bürglen (Burglen) combines the quiet rhythm of a farming settlement with a prominent place in Switzerland’s national imagination, reflecting its position in Uri on the Schächen. The stream runs through the municipality on its way to the Reuss, while the Schächental leads deeper into the Alps toward Klausen Pass, the road crossing into Glarus. Bürglen is closely associated with William Tell: local tradition names it as his birthplace, and the Tell Museum explores how this legendary figure became embedded in Swiss cultural memory. It remains a lived-in Uri community where valley routes, pastureland and the Tell story meet. Discover other points of interest through webcams located across Uri.
