Der Schillerstein
Sight / monument
The Schillerstein, also known as the Mythenstein, is an almost 30 meter high, prominent boulder that protrudes from the water at the entrance to Lake Uri, the southernmost basin of Lake Lucerne. It is located opposite Brunnen between the Treib and the Rütli and is only accessible from the water.
The White Book of Sarnen from 1470/1472 already mentioned a rock as a signpost to the nearby Rütli. The natural rock spur was originally around 40 meters high. In 1838 it was shortened by a third when falling stones endangered passing steamships.
1859 the founding cantons decided to convert the obelisk-shaped stone into a Schiller monument in honor of the 100th birthday of Friedrich Schiller, the author of the drama ´William Tell´. The Schiller stone reads in gold lettering:
