Road Trip with Rilke Round Switzerland

To celebrate Rainer Maria Rilke's centennial of the publication of his masterpiece, the Duino Elegies, readers are taken on a tour of his favourite places in Switzerland.

At each stop, extracts from his letters, poems and reflections are quoted. To share this experience with readers are challenged to visit as many places and post selfies on a website www.rilketour.ch. A trophy and prize of a stay in a 5-star Hotel will be given to hikers, bikers, car and rail lovers who have achieved the most.Rilke has transcended time: his work won an Oscar in 2020, Lady Gaga wears his tattoo on her arm and more books are published about him in English than in German.
