Lake Luzern's Hidden Jewel: The Beckenried-Gersau Ferry・Grand Tour of Switzerland 🇨🇭

Welcome to the 11th episode of a series, where I travel around official photo spots of the Grand Tour of Switzerland. In this episode, we will visit the one and only photo spot, which is moving as it is positioned on the top of the Beckenried-Gersau ferry.
Grand Tour of Switzerland is the best alpine road trip in the world, which will take you on a 1600 km long scenic road, from lakes surrounded by palms, across amazing mountain passes, glaciers to rustic mountain villages. You will visit the most beautiful places in Switzerland. There are officially 55+ photo spots along the trip, marked with an iconic stand.
Filmed in October 2022.

Perfect shot!

Parádička pane mistr !! 🙂 🇨🇭

[@JaroslavBengl]

Děkuji moc, Petře 😀 Byli jsme s tátou u toho jezera a napadlo mne, že bychom mohli stihnout západ slunce na tom trajektu. Zkoušel jsem ho natočit už předtím, dokonce jsem tam jel na šestou ráno, abych stihnul východ slunce na vodě, ale předpověď počasí se spletla, a bylo zataženo s nízkou oblačností... Ale tentokrát to počasí vyšlo 🌅 👍🏻

Oh man... Last time I visited Vierwaldstättersee was... hang on... about 40 Years ago I believe. Thanks for sharing these beautiful moments Jaroslav! 🇨🇭👍🏻

[@JaroslavBengl]

Thanks a lot, Gerald! ✨👍🏻 40 years, really? 😀 It's one of my favorite destinations in Switzerland, mainly as it is surrounded by beautiful mountains and it's within one hour driving time from our home... Just this weekend we made a small hike around Urnersee along Weg der Schweiz and we discovered a new cable car, which we were not aware of yet... 😀 And two weeks ago we hiked to Rütli and had a surprising moment as the local club of parrot owners visited the place with their pets 🦜 So you can see the mountains, lake, Swiss flag and huge ara macaws parrot flying around 😂 On other hand, over our 15 years in Switzerland, we've been only 3-4 times at the Lake Constance...

wow the sunset is beautiful

[@JaroslavBengl]

Thanks a lot, my friend! ✨ It was day before closing the season, I'm really glad that it worked out 👍🏻 Wish you a wonderful evening! 🙋🏻‍♂️

Beautiful, Subscribed.

[@JaroslavBengl]

Thanks a lot for your support! 🤩👍🏻

[@SlovenianGirlAbroad]

That evening light is absolutely amazing! Gorgeous shoots - as always. 🧡💛

[@JaroslavBengl]

Thanks so much, Urška! 🥰 The light on that evening was really amazing - I waited for a later time in the season (October) to get a chance to see the sunset on the ferry, but it was bad weather for several weeks... It was one day before closing the season and it worked out 😀 Really close call this time... PS: I'm getting slowly closer and closer to Luzern... 😀 So hope that we will be able to meet in person and film one episode together - The best of Luzern according to Slovenian Girl Abroad.

@@JaroslavBengl so lucky it worked out. 🍀 It was worth the wait, I think. 🧡 Hehe, true. Let’s hope we’ll manage to meet and film this year, hehe. To be honest, it is a bit challenging to find time to film anything these days. Two little kids are sometimes too much to handle. 🙉

[@JaroslavBengl]

@@SlovenianGirlAbroad Having three teenagers at home, I very well understand what you mean, Urška 😅Now it is opposite problem - none of them would like to join the trips to mountains 🏔️😀 We should aim at least for a coffee ☕️😀👍🏻

[@SlovenianGirlAbroad]

@@JaroslavBengl hehe, I can’t wait for that time to come, but I know when it will come, I’m going to miss that toddler/baby stage. Yup, totally agree. Coffee would be great. If we manage to film anything, even better. ☕️

Love it Jaroslav :) We was there in May (Hertenstein;) Thank you very much for this great memories. Big like #24 and so on ;) Best wishes and a wonderful weekend my friend Adrian

[@JaroslavBengl]

Thanks so much, dear Adrian! ✨ So happy to hear from you! 😀 👍🏻 I like Lake Luzern a lot and I'm working slowly on the video dedicated to the lake itself, but still few parts are missing... It's my pet video project - as it is not so far from home, I'm trying to collect great moments around the lake and then make the compilation video... Wish you a wonderful evening! ✨🙋🏻‍♂️

[@robodrone5662]

Fine trip 👍

[@JaroslavBengl]

Thanks a lot, my friend ✨ It was one of the trips with my father during his autumn visit... I tried to film the ferry few weeks ago, at the sunrise time, but weather was really bad (despite promising forecast), so I was happy to repeat it at the sunset... One of the last trips of the season.

[@robodrone5662]

@@JaroslavBengl Looks really nice 😁

[@anotherview1]

Cool, a moving photospot!Great idea! Thx for showing this wonderful video :-)

[@JaroslavBengl]

Thanks a lot, my friend! ✨👍🏻 After double checking the drone maps, it's possible to fly there with FPV as well! ⭐️ I can imagine that you will pull off the magic single-shot FPV flight through that stand! 😀

[@anotherview1]

@@JaroslavBengl that looks scary and im not sure if i the captain would allow this flight.😄

[@JaroslavBengl]

@@anotherview1 I wrote them ahead and asked about filming. They were really kind and allowed me to travel for free as many times I will need 😀 My first big perk as a filmmaker ⭐️👍🏻
