Rütli
Sight / Town
The Rütli is a meadow and a historical place in Seelisberg, a municipality in the canton of Uri in central Switzerland. The place is closely linked to the creation of the Swiss Confederation and is considered the birthplace of Switzerland.
According to legend, the three original cantons of Uri, Schwyz and Unterwalden met here on August 1, 1291 to form an alliance that formed the basis for the later Confederation. The meeting is said to have taken place on the Rütli because it was a remote and difficult-to-access place that was well suited to holding a secret meeting.
Today the Rütli is an important national memorial and a symbol of Switzerland´s independence and freedom. There is a monument on the meadow that commemorates the founding of the Confederation. The Rütli is also a popular destination for tourists who want to explore the picturesque landscape around Lake Lucerne and the mountains of central Switzerland. Every year on August 1st, Switzerland´s national holiday, a celebration is held on the Rütli, attended by politicians, army representatives and thousands of people from all over Switzerland.
