Vitznau lies between the southern slope of the Rigi and Lake Lucerne. The area is also known as the Lucerne Riviera. The lakeside village lies at 435 m above sea level and is connected to the Rigi by cogwheel railroad and aerial cableway. The cogwheel railroad takes around 35 minutes via various stops to Rigi Kulm at 1752 m above sea level. The small aerial cableway takes visitors from Vitznau to the Wissifluh mountain restaurant. Vitznau can be easily reached by boat through a small sheltered bay. Round trips from Lucerne across Lake Lucerne followed by a trip up the mountain are very popular. Worth seeing in Vitznau is the artillery fortress built during the Second World War, which is now both a museum and a hotel. Even the casemates and tunnels can be visited.
