Excursión ciclista de un día de Werthenstein a Lucerna

Get ready for a beautiful ride from the tranquil village of Werthenstein to the vibrant city of Lucerne! Covering just over 24 km, this route treats you to the scenic heart of Canton Lucerne, with a mix of quiet country roads and a touch of adventure on gravel and unpaved sections.

Werthenstein is best known for its picturesque baroque monastery perched above the river, making it a great spot for a quick look around before you saddle up.

Whether you’re planning a lakeside break or exploring the city’s historic heart, this route is a fantastic way to link country serenity with urban charm. Just be sure to bring a bike that’s comfortable on mixed surfaces!
