Cobblestones underfoot, winding houses with colorful facades, and the gentle splashing of the Reuss accompanied every step. Between charming cafés and small shops, a window to history repeatedly opened – a place that invites you to linger, marvel, and dream. A walk full of …

October 16, 2021,"Äs heisst nöd Luzern sondern Lozärn!" Historische Leuchtenstadt.

Up to now we have avoided Lucerne or "Lozärn" because of the masses of people. Although the city on the Reuss is still very nicely populated, it is nowhere near as strong as it was before Corona.

My two favorite nephews Peer and Sebastian are with me on their holidays. The sun is shining.

Of course, healthy and good food - and there should …

June 12, 2026,🇨🇭Luzern: Rundgang

With rain predicted, my girlfriend and I decided to explore Lucerne. Of course, the Chapel Bridge and Spreuer Bridge were not to be missed. We also explored the still-existing Musegg Wall with its towers. Otherwise, we walked through the interesting streets and squares of the city. This way, we repeatedly had the opportunity to escape the rain a little.

Before our event at the KKL Luzern, we strolled through Lucerne in the afternoon in beautiful weather. Only the Saharan dust made the light very hazy.

It was a lovely, relaxing walk through the old town and along the lake promenade, before we enjoyed the film The Lion King with the 21st Century Symphony Orchestra & Chorus "In Concert live …
