Place: Lucerne, Switzerland
Information: Have been visiting lovely Lucerne, Switzerland for the last two days! It’s so beautiful here – and clean! Located on Lake Lucerne, it’s a middle-sized town, focused on sports and tourism! It’s been raining – not a problem for this Pacific NW person! Known for it’s lovely position on the lake, and it’s stunning Kapellbrücke (literally, Chapel Bridge) is a covered bridge and contains several interior paintings dating back to the 17th century, although many of them were destroyed along with a larger part of the centuries-old bridge in a 1993 fire. Subsequently restored, the Kapellbrücke is the oldest wooden covered bridge in Europe, as well as the world's oldest surviving truss bridge.
Lucerne has several small markets and is beautifully decorated. Here's the Rolex tree and a few other pics! More soon!
We’ve stayed in Lucerne several times. Our fav hotel is the Des Alps at one end of the beautiful bridge. Enjoy.
