Luzern - lucerne


Lucerne is a capital city of the canton of Lucerne. It is situated in the northern part of Swiss. The city is situated on a lake by the same name. The lucern railway station is very close to the lake.
Mt Pilates and Mt Rigi are some of the favorite destinations from here. We took the cruise ship from lake lucerne close to the culture and convention center and arrived at Vitznau. From Vitznau we took the mountain cog wheel train to Mt Rigi. Alternatively you can take the cable car from weggis to Mt rigi. Mt Rigi is also called the "Queen of the mountains".
The view from Mt Rigi was amazing as usual.

While coming down we took the cable car to weggis. Weggis is a beautiful place,It lies facing lake lucerne.It looked like a postcard with the beautiful wooden houses ,tulips , flowering trees and grazing cows .
