Ingenbohl: Ibach - Schwyz - Rickenbach - Grosser Mythen - Kleiner Mythen - Holzegg - Haggenegg - Rothenfluh

Ingenbohl lies along the eastern shore of Lake Lucerne, where the water narrows toward the Urnersee and central Swiss slopes rise above the shore. The municipality includes Brunnen, a lakeside settlement served by Lake Lucerne’s passenger boats and closely associated with the routes linking the surrounding cantons. In 1315, Brunnen gave its name to the Pact of Brunnen, an alliance of the early Swiss forest cantons. Ingenbohl is also home to the motherhouse of the Sisters of Charity of the Holy Cross, a congregation founded here in 1856.

Built around an early settlement beneath the Mythen peaks, Schwyz grew into the capital of the canton that gave Switzerland its name. The town stands in central Switzerland between the Muota valley and the shores of Lake Lucerne, with the distinctive Grosser and Kleiner Mythen rising above its streets. Schwyz holds a defining place in the country’s political memory: it was one of the original cantons associated with the Federal Charter of 1291, preserved at the Museum of the Swiss Charters. Its historic centre, local traditions and access to mountain country give it a strongly regional identity.

Switzerland stretches from the Jura Mountains in the northwest to the Alps in the south, encompassing a central plateau of cities, farms and lakes. The Rhine rises in the Swiss Alps, while Lake Geneva forms part of the country’s southwestern border. Zürich, Geneva and Basel are major urban centres, yet mountain railways and passes remain central to how many regions are experienced. Four national languages—German, French, Italian and Romansh—reflect Switzerland’s distinct cantonal identities. The Matterhorn above Zermatt is among Europe’s most recognisable peaks, and the 1291 Federal Charter is closely associated with the country’s founding tradition.
