GOTTHARD SWITZERLAND Road Trip - Tales and Military Facilities

The Gotthard Pass is one of the most famous roads in the Swiss Alps. It connects the cantons of Uri and Ticino. If you did not know, Switzerland is perfect for one day road trips, certainly this road here at the Gotthard Pass is. The passroad starts in Amsteg, but even before that, there are a lot of attractions and things worthy to see. The first stop is at Brunnen, the lookout with the view to Seelisberg and Lake Lucerne. For the next stop, one of the hidden gem villages of Bauen shall be explored. It’s a humble village by Lake Lucerne that charms with its many palmtrees and serene atmosphere. Bauen is quickly explored, half an hour should be fine. Before ascending the passroad, also go for a quick stop at Flüelen, another small village by Lake Lucerne with a beautiful pier. Then, the passroad to the Gotthard begings: Take the old road by exiting Amsteg and do a quick stop at Intschi, to watch the trains crossing. For next, at the Schöllenen canyon, you may see the devil’s bridge, that was according to one of the most famous Swiss tales being constructed by the devil himself. There are more things, the Suvorov monument with a giant cross being engraved into the rock, one of the Russian monuments of Switzerland; then, there is a formerly secret military tunnel that is now open to the public, it allows you to cross over to get really close to the waterfall. Before heading to the hospice of the Gotthard pass, take a right turn to ascend the plastered road, which gives you a more nostalgic feeling. The Gotthard pass on that day was full of snow, one of the most unique looks I have ever seen this place at. The lake at the Passo del San Gottardo was partially frozen, having some arctic vibes up in the Swiss Alps. The Tremola pass road down to Ticino was closed, but still you could access a tiny chapel that is actually another Russian monument and probably the only Russian Orthodox chapel of Swiss-style architecture in the Alps.
