Battle of Morgarten
Was the Battle of Morgarten the first fight for freedom by the Confederates or was it just a local act of punishment? Facts and suppositions, sagas and stories: learn more on a conducted tour of this historic countryside.
The tour starts with an informative film show in Morgarten House, in the middle of the battle field. The cause and outcome of the battle are explained clearly and comprehensibly, and a small exhibition with pictures and cards completes the introduction. Then the tour takes us over the historic battle ground, where it is relatively easy to take ourselves back into the time of autumn 1315. A more detailed variation of the tour includes the visit to the battle monument on Lake Aegeri.
