Day 10-Lucerne, Switzerland

My best friends daughter, Chloe, and I took a day trip to Lucern, Switzerland and it certainly didn’t disappoint. It was a bit of a challenge to get there first by taking a bus and then the trains but we managed and had an amazing day taking it all in. We managed to spend time at the beautiful covered bridges-Chapel Bridge and Sprueyer Bridge-that cross the crystal clear blue waters from Lake Lucerne. We explored the painted city squares-weinmarkt, hirshenplatz,kornmarkt, kapellplatz, sternenplatz-and admired the amazing paintings on the buildings. We hiked up to Musegg Wall and climbed the clock tower and Mannliturm tower to capture beautiful views of the city. 

The visit to the Jesuit church was stunning to view its architecture and my first time seeing confessional booths. The iconic Lion Monument also was majestic and beautiful. Seeing the snow capped mountains in the distance was icing on the cake.

This city was soooo beautiful 

Our travels back to Kandern proved to be a bit difficult trying to catch a bus to our little town before the buses stopped running. We ended up 5km from Kandern, but had an unintended lovely hike through the Black Forest (thankfully downhill) on our way home and we were so happy to lay our heads on the pillow that night. 

5km unintended hike…it’s all part of the adventure

We were so happy to finally make it back to our town.
