    The Dying Lion of Lucerne is one of the most famous monuments in the world!
    The writer Mark Twain called the lion “the saddest and most moving piece of stone in the world.”

    There is a free toilet here, but this monument is very overcrowded with tourists.
    There's probably also a pig hiding in the monument... I didn't recognize it. Maybe you'll have better luck
