      Lucerna

      June 10, 2023 in Switzerland ⋅ ⛅ 25 °C

      Miasto jakich wiele tyle że Szwajcarskie, standardowo wszystko zrobione od linijki. Parki wyglądają jak w amerykańskich filmach o idealnej pokojowej przyszłość. Maja słynny drewniany most kapliczny który spłonął w 1993 i został odbudowany. Z ciekawostek pieski nie mogą na nie sikać. Rynek totalne rozczarowanie, wygląda jak zaułek pod żabkę. Następna ciekawostka można popłynąć parostatkiem w piękny rejs, legenda głosi ze Krawczyk dalej tam gra tylko w przebraniu klauna.Read more

      Lucerne, Interlaken, Grindelwald Alps!

      August 2, 2023 in Switzerland ⋅ ☀️ 77 °F

      We drove from Zurich to Interlaken. Stopped in Lucerne on our way there, had Greek lunch next to the Rhuess river, outlet from lake Lucerne. Interlaken is a beautiful (and expensive!) mountain city between two lakes. From our hotel you can see the top of Junqfrau. We drove up to Grindelwald, hiked up from town from the train station. Beausite hotel was nice, super attentive staff and a lovely breakfast. Had a tasty dinner that night trout and fondue.. delicious!Read more

      Liucerna ir EuroNight

      August 19, 2023 in Switzerland ⋅ ☀️ 30 °C

      Sutikome pirmąją reikšmingą pabaigą kelionėje - paskutinę dieną Šveicarijoje. Veneciškoje Liucernoje pabraidyta hidroelektrinėje ir praeita mirties šokio iliustracijomis išpuoštu tiltu. Idilė nebūtų pilna neišsimaudžius, o naktis nepaprasta nepravažiavus naktiniu traukiniu į Budapeštą, kurį kušetėje pasieksime rytoj.Read more

      Burning Bridges and a Dying Lion

      September 16, 2023 in Switzerland ⋅ ☀️ 21 °C

      Booking a hotel online with no previous knowledge is not my favourite pastime. Too many things can go wrong and occasionally they have. Add to that the financial outlay required for a night in a Swiss hotel and the pressure really is on. The Gasthaus Zur Weldegg however was an excellent choice. Located in Horw, a quiet suburb of Lucerne and at the foot of Mt. Pilatus, it is within a 5 min train ride of the city. The room is modern, spacious, air conditioned and very comfortable and breakfast is included.

      There is a sweet spot with hotel breakfasts that I rarely achieve. Having my usual light breakfast isn't an option as it represents such poor value for money. On the other end of the scale is to eat so much that you don't need to shell out for lunch and somewhere in between is eating more than usual, but not so much that you feel sick all morning and can't contemplate lunch anyway. It is fair to say that the sweet spot was missed today.

      The weather was kind to us and we had a gentle 4 mile stroll along the lakeside, punctuated by a number of stops on shaded benches to bemoan the level of breakfast consumption. Of the available tourist sites, we selected Lucerne's famous Chapel Bridge, constructed of wood and dating back to the 17th century (or 1993 if you take into account the fire that destroyed about ⅔ of the structure). The bridge has been fully restored and does look splendid.

      Our other must see was Lion Monument, or the Lion of Lucerne, a 10 meter by 6 meter relief of a dying lion carved into the rock face. The sculpture, said to be one of the saddest monuments in the world, dates from 1821 and commemorates the 600 or so Swiss Guards massacred while defending the French king during the French Revolution.

      Like a lot of picturesque Swiss cities, Lucerne is situated beside a lake and surrounded by low mountains, or high hills. I have to confess to spending too much time on Google trying to figure out when a hill becomes a mountain. There appears to be no unique global consensus although there are broad alignments between countries around 2000 to 2500 feet. Having been married for 43 years I have a much clearer grasp of when a molehill becomes a mountain....      Read more

      Fritschi

      February 7 in Switzerland ⋅ ☁️ 9 °C

      Ristorante di cucina tipica svizzera.
      Mangiato zuppa di cipolle e un rösti con uova, pancetta e raclette. E devo dire, economico per gli standard elvetici.
      Degno di nota anche l'esterno, affrescato, il ristorante quanto l'edificio di fronte, una sorta di teatrino delle marionette.Read more

      Luzern Altstadt

      February 9 in Switzerland ⋅ ☁️ 7 °C

      Due passi nel quartiere vecchio, andando a cercare le chiese che ho trovato chiuse in questi giorni.
      Intanto sotto gli occhi comincio a vedere somiglianze sempre più marcate con Basel, nelle fontane così come nei cannelli. E poi quelle pietre parlanti, così grottesche: ci credo che il goth è nato nel mondo germanico.Read more

      Lucerna, Kapellbrücke

      September 17, 2019 in Switzerland ⋅ ⛅ 22 °C

      Madrugada, tren rápido TGV hasta Basilea, luego tren local a Lucerna, primera parada en la bella Suiza, país hermoso, cada foto parece de postal.
      Antes de salir en la van rentada, caminamos por el lago y el Puente de la Capilla (Kapellbrücke), construido en madera en el siglo XIV, 1333. Este puente unía la ciudad nueva con las ciudad vieja.Read more

      Luzern am Vierwaldstättersee

      October 3, 2019 in Switzerland ⋅ ⛅ 10 °C

      Am Nachmittag erreichen wir das Seehotel Baumgarten, dass direkt am Vierwaldstättersee liegt. Die Saison scheint zu Ende, das Personal macht die Anlage winterfest. Wir schnappen uns noch schnell zwei Liegestühle und machen es uns auf der Sonnenterrasse gemütlich.
      Zur späteren Stunde fahren wir ins Zentrum von Luzern. Der Magen knurrt, also Zwischenstopp beim „Best Kebab in Town“, so verspricht es uns eine Rezension. Die beiden Rollen sind tatsächlich äußerst schmackhaft. So fällt es einem vielleicht leichter sich einzureden, dass ein 10er pro Kebab gerechtfertigt ist.
      So schlendern wir bei Mondschein über die Kappelbrücke, passieren den alten Marktplatz und landen schließlich an der Mussegmauer, die zur historischen Stadtbefestigung gehört und sich etwas abseits vom Zentrum auf einem Hügel befindet. Weit und breit keine Menschenseele. Auch nicht verwunderlich, es ist zappenduster. Die Taschenlampe unseres Handys weist uns den Weg hinauf zum Zytturm, einem von neun Türmen der Museggmauer. Hier lassen wir den Blick in die Ferne schweifen, wo der Mond über den Konturen der Bergketten thront und die Lichter der Stadt flimmern. Eine Minute vor 8 läutet die Turmglocke einen Meter neben uns, es vibriert im ganzen Körper.
      Mit einer Flasche Rotwein, Luzerner Bier und Schweizer Schoki lassen wir den Tag am Stadtfluss ausklingen.      Read more

      Chapel Bridge Lucerne, LU

      February 9, 2020 in Switzerland ⋅ ⛅ 5 °C

      Chapel Bridge and Water Tower

      Lucerne lies on the river Reuss, at the end of Lake Lucerne, framed by impressive mountains. The city has been a stronghold of tourism since 1840, thanks to the well-preserved Old Town with its Chapel Bridge and Water Tower.

      Lucerne is divided by the river Reuss into an Old Town and a New Town. The two districts are connected by what is among other things the world's oldest covered wooden bridge, the Chapel Bridge, which dates back to the year 1332. The bridge was rebuilt true to the original after the fire of 1993 and leads to the actual landmark of Lucerne, the octagonal Water Tower. Like the over 500-year-old Musegg Wall with its turrets, the bridge and water tower were part of the city fortifications.

      At the outflow of the river Reuss, a historic needle dam, built in 1860, regulates the water level of the lake. The nearby Old Town boasts a town hall which dates back to the Late Renaissance as well as a Jesuit church, Switzerland's oldest Baroque church.      Read more

      Ponte in legno che congiunge i due lati del fiume, passando per una torretta con un negozio di gioielli e orologi.
