Küssnacht
Sitting on the north shore of Lake Lucerne at the foot of Mount Rigi, Küssnacht is a pocket-sized Swiss town with a café and restaurant scene that outpaces the town's size, waterfront access, and scenic views toward the surrounding peaks. The municipality also touches the southwest shore of Lake Zug, giving it an unusual position between two lakes in the heart of central Switzerland's canton of Schwyz.
