During our time in Lucerne, we visited Mount Rigi, often called the "Queen of the Mountains," as the journey was included with the Swiss Rail Travel Pass. Our adventure began with a 30-minute train ride from Lucerne's main station (Luzern Bahnhof) to Arth-Goldau. From there, we boarded a cogwheel train that provided a stunning, scenic ascent to the summit of Mount Rigi. The cogwheel train is particularly fascinating due to its use of a toothed rack rail system in the center of the track, enabling it to navigate steep gradients that standard trains cannot handle. #magicalxmastrip #europetrip #europe #Switzerland #swiss #lucerne #alps #luzern #rigi #tripblazers #train #cogwheel #scenicride

Located in the heart of Lucerne's Old Town and spans the Reuss River, the Chapel Bridge is one of the most iconic landmarks in Lucerne. The bridge is one of the oldest wooden covered bridges in Europe and dates back to the 14th century. It has undergone several reconstructions over the centuries. In 1993, a large portion of the bridge was destroyed by a fire, but extensive restoration efforts were made to rebuild it to its former glory. We thoroughly enjoyed strolling across the Chapel Bridge, soaking up the beautiful views, and exploring the Old Town on both sides of the river. #heritageplace #europe #switzerland #swiss #promenade #luzern #lucerne #stroll #lake #bridge #lakeside #waterfront #citywalk #chapel #tripblazers #mytripvlog

If you ask me which part of Switzerland I love, I can outright say not Zurich for sure but its either interlaken or luzern. Interlaken is more towards the nature settings with glorious mountain backdrops. Luzern city itself is filled with many historical attractions with stories too! 1 of which is the Chapel Bridge, where the bridge had a major restoration due to a big fire in 1993 which is also written as part of the story in the Chapel bridge information. Not too far off there is also the lion monument where this is a carved stone dying lion to attribute the 1792 tuileries war. There is also the hofkirche st. leodegar Catholic Church which is a old 18th century Church that is beautifully built and still standing tall and gorgeous. #fallingforfall #switzerland #scenic #view #luzern #gorgeous #historical

The dying lion conveys such powerful emotions that no explanations are necessary. But perhaps the historical context of the monument helps in order to understand it better. Bertel Thorvaldsen was a famous Danish sculptor born in the 18th century. He designed the dying lion. Lukas Ahorn hewn this rock relief by hand in 1820-1821. The lion, known as the Löwendenkmal, commemorates the Swiss mercenary guards who were massacred in 1792 during the French Revolution. They were the guards for Louis XVI at the Tuileries Palace, after Louis XVI retreated from the Palace of Versailles. Some died during the battle. They were out of ammunition and seriously outnumbered by the Revolutionaries. Some died in the massacre that followed. Still some died in prison.[2] The Latin phrase above the rock, Helvetiorum Fidei Ac Virtuti, means “To the Loyalty and the Bravery of the Swiss.” The names of those who died and survived are also memorialized here. Mark Twain has praised the Löwendenkmal to be the “most mournful and moving piece of stone in the world.” #switzerland #switzerlandphotos #switzerlandtrip #lucerne #luzern #dyinglion #Löwendenkmal #sculpture #europe #europetrip #swisshistory #swissheritage #travel

Since we visited in winter, we couldn’t walk on the wall itself, so we explored the area inside the fortifications instead. A friendly local we met recommended walking along the outer wall for a stunning view of the city—and they were right! We were rewarded with breathtaking panoramic views of Lucerne, framed by Lake Lucerne and the majestic Swiss Alps.
