Lucern, Switzerland

With my bread in hand I was off to Lucern, named by many as the most beautiful city in Switzerland. It is known for its two wooden bridges with historic paintings every few feet, their picturesque lake, and a crying lion carved out of stone in a hillside.

While I walked along the bridge I was sure to take a picture of each of the painted panels. Some of them were very interesting, using skeletons to depict certain characters from their history. After the bridges I headed up a hill toward a few old towers, and hiked up the narrow stairways to the top for a breathtaking view of the surrounding area. Seeing a nearby clock tower, I hiked up to it and conquered the steep steps and up to the top. Seeing a chateaux on the other side of the hill, I found my next challenge. Briskly walking up a very steep hill to a beautiful chateaux where I got to see the two towers I climbed across the way. Since I had been running through Lucern and up hills I was drenched with sweat. I  found a trough with flowing water where I rinsed off and drank from. I figured, eh this water is probably fine, Im in Switzerland.

This panel was my favorite, a skeleton watering some guy...

Heading back down the hill I found the crying lion in the hillside, which despite my expectations was quite spectacular, but no time to see it too long, I had a series of trains to catch to Sedrun.
