Boosch - Fleckles-Ranft

This stage leaves the lake behind as it ascends towards the spiritual heart of Switzerland. It is a pilgrimage journey in its finest form, which takes the pilgrim to Flüeli-Ranft, the home of the country's patron saint, Saint Nicholas of Flue. The path is demanding, with an ascending profile, but the spiritual reward is immense. The landscape changes, moving from the lake shore to a more austere and contemplative mountain environment. The arrival at the sanctuary is a moment of profound peace and reflection.
