Historic tour through the Lucerne hinterland "Today we sing a holy song, it is dedicated to the hero Winkelried" – as it says in the Sempach song, which commemorates the Battle of Sempach from the year 1386. The Nidwalden native Arnold von Winkelried is said to have courageously and selflessly thrown himself into the lances of the Habsburg enemies here, thereby enabling the Swiss confederate army to achieve victory. This is also inscribed on the monument next to the battle chapel: "Here Winkelried made a passage for his own." History was also made in Beromünster. More precisely: radio history. Because the first radio program in Switzerland was broadcast via the Beromünster national transmitter on June 11, 1931. Although this medium wave transmitter has not been in operation since 2008, the 217-meter-high transmission mast on Bloseberg still stands (under monument protection since 2009). The seven listening stations of the Beromünster radio trail offer an extremely successful and entertaining introduction to Swiss radio history.

    Empfehlenswert! Das Städtchen Sempach ist allein eine Reise wert. Anfangs geht es leider etwas lange an der Straße entlang. Danach wird es aber sehr schön. Um nicht zweimal den gleichen Weg zu gehen, sind wir für den Rückweg an der Schlachtkapelle vorbei und durch den Mussiwald zurück auf den Fuchspfad. Sehr empfehlenswert!

    Mega schöne Tour! Haben viel über die Schlacht gelernt und noch einen Abstecher gemacht. Der Rückweg durch die kleine Schlucht ist sehr schön! Überall hat es Wegweiser und Ruheplätze sowie Grillstellen und der Weg ist einfach zu meistern. Merci!
