Hostel in Seelisberg

This simple hostel in Seelisberg had been renovated and was totally updated inside. It provides beds and cooking facilities and is only reachable by walking up the steep hillside from the Urigersee. It is near Ruetli, the site of the Swiss confederation in 1291.

Thomas and Michael were taking a few days to hike parts of Saint James Way, the paths that go through Europe to Santiago de Compostela in Spain.
