Day 11 – Farewell to the Mountains

Today marked a transition—from alpine serenity to our next adventure.

We said goodbye to the stunning mountain scenery of Lungern and began our journey toward Zurich, driving along the picturesque shores of Lake Lucerne.

Midway through our road trip, we stopped in Brunnen, a charming lakeside town rich in Swiss history, located near the site where Switzerland was founded in 1291. It offered the perfect backdrop for a light lunch and a final breath of mountain air.

By early afternoon, we reached our stopover point: the Holiday Inn Express near Zurich Airport. It’s a practical and comfortable base for the night.

Tomorrow at 8:30 AM, a bus will take us to Passau, Austria—the starting point of our 9-day Danube River cruise.

Next Destination: Budapest, Hungary!Read more
