The legend of William Tell
Today I invite you along Altdorf the capital of canton Uri in Central Switzerland. Near the lake Lucerne a little above where the Reuss flows in Lake Uri, sourrounded by the Alps make the place an beautiful destination for tourists and locals. Here in the city is much to discover, both old and new, such as the world-famous Tell statue, which is still a reminder of Switzerland's origins. To explore by foot the charming old town, cultural landmarks or take a trip in the mountains or lake is always in every season a pleasure.
The monument William Tell was erected about 1895. The statue shows Tell as a strong figure, holding a crossbow in one hand with his soon. The legent tell that Tell was a skilled marksman refused to bow to the hat in Habsburg time. The legend is belived to have taken place in the early 14th century. Gessler ordered him to shoot an apple in two off the head of his soon with his croosbow. With a happy ending, W. Tell split successfully the apple without harming his soon. Later Tell assassinated Gessler, igniting a rebelion.
and a few views from the top of the mountains and city
During the middle ages, Aldorf was a key location due to its strategic position along the routes throughts the Alps, the Gotthard Pass.
The old town is perfect for a leisurely stroll along the well preserved medieval buildings with historical ambience and local shops or cafes for a rest.
a break in the church of St.Martin dates back to the 13th century
Thanks for stopping by, have a beautiful day!
