Hi, my name is Rita. I was born at the shore of Lake Lucerne and have been living at different places around the lake and since 6 years I have been staying right in the center of Lucerne city. Lucerne area has been discovered by tourism since Queen Victoria's time. So there is a great possibility in my city to meet people from all over the world. I like to get into contact with them and to show my preferred aspects of the city, the lake and surrounding mountains. I love cultures, languages and people in general. So for me tour guiding is also an exchange with other cultures. My main profession is in the field of natural medicine. I love plants, animals and nature. I love to show the hidden places of unspoilt nature to small groups. Since 6 years I am a certified tour guide with a group tour company, leading groups to the mountains around Lucerne. I prefer though to deal with small groups where you enter in a more personal contact. I am a good listener, like to laugh and take life easy. I am almost a retired person, but still very active. I do hiking, bicycle riding, yoga, gardening, snow shoe hiking, swimming. If there is a chance to share some of my sportive activities with guests, I am very happy. If you can't find the tour you would like or if you have special whishes, please contact me, I am very happy to offer also customized tours. - Certificate as tour guide 2012 - Driving licence B1 - Diploma in teaching adults (AEB Lucerne) - Diploma in natural Medicine and Homeopathy I am a driver and can rent a car if you wish and if it makes sense. In Switzerland there is a very dense net of public transport. So, if possible, I prefer to use it.

Overview of your Lucerne tour

The little village Niederrickenbach is reached in 40 minutes from Lucerne. The train stops at the cable car bottom station. A nice ride in the cable car brings you up to the height of 3500 feet. The village has no streets for cars, except for the local farmer's tractors. It counts only a few houses, a monastery, a pilgrim church, and a pilgrim's house that offers excellent local food. From Niederrickenbach we can hike to Musenalp, where there is a nice mountain restaurant with good food of their local alp cheese. From Musenalp we hike down on another trail to Niederrickenbach, where we have a good drink in the Pilgrim's house. There is a monastery with a pilgrim chappel. In a little shop in the monastery, you can buy natural herbal tea collected by the nuns and other natural healing remedies.
