View from the Spreuerbrücke in Luzern. Only a short walk from the more visited Kapellbrücke, the bridge offers an interesting view on the city and even includes a small chapel.
Mount Pilatus near Lucerne, Switzerland. Day trips are available from Lucerne that start with a scenic boat ride across Lake Lucerne followed by a trip to the top of Mount Pilatus via a cogwheel railway. The mountain offers many other options for recreation and scenery including gondola rides to the bottom, hiking trails atop the summit, and an aerial obstacle park in the treetops.
Due to its location on the shore of Lake Lucerne (der Vierwaldstättersee), within sight of Mount Pilatus and Rigi in the Swiss Alps, Lucerne has long been a great destination for tourists.
