Before the turn of the century until the stock market crash in 1929, Morschach was a popular retreat for noblemen, industrialists, merchants and kings (e.g. Queen Victoria or King Ludwig II of Bavaria). Tourism around Lake Lucerne was then severely affected by the world economic crisis and World War II. In 1982, the first larger  hotel "Axenfels" was opened with the aim of continuing the tradition of the past epoch.
