Wilhelm Tell - Denkmal - ( Altdorf ) - Kanton ; URI - Schweiz
Luzern | Switzerland | Lucerne, Chapel Bridge, Altdorf, William Tell, Mount Rigi,
Lucerne (Luzern in German, Lozärn in Swiss-German) [25] is a beautiful small city in the heartland of Switzerland, across the lake from Altdorf, where legend has itc shot an apple off of his son's head. In addition to being a fine place to visit in and of itself Lucerne is a great base from which to explore famous Swiss sites such as Mount Rigi and the Rütli Meadow.
The Chapel Bridge, The Chapel Bridge, a landmark of Lucerne, is said to be the oldest woodbridge of Europe. The Bridge is made with wood and was built in 14th century as a protection for the city. It's amusing walking over it as you can see about 100 pictures of 12th century city life and Swiss history. Join one of the walking tours going around! Unfortunately the bridge burned down on 18th August 1993. Within a few months it was rebuilt. The tower used as oubliette is still in original condition.

The old city wall (Musegg Wall). There are several towers which you can ascend, including the clock tower - the clockwork mechanism is huge and exposed on the inside. The clock has 'First Strike rights' by law, and so chimes at 1 min before the hour. Unfortunately what little explanatory signage there is on the wall is almost all only in German.

Altdorf (458 m ü. M.) ist der Hauptort des Kantons Uri und liegt in der Reussebene. Nach dem Stück von Friedrich Schiller ist hier der Schauplatz des Apfelschusses von Wilhelm Tell. Nachdem sich dieser weigerte, Landvogt Gesslers Hut auf der Stange zu grüssen, wurde er von ihm dazu gezwungen, einen Apfel vom Kopf seines Sohnes zu schiessen -- angeblich auf dem Altdorfer Marktplatz. Deshalb wurde hier 1895 bei einem alten Turm das Telldenkmal errichtet. Die Bronzestatue des Zürchers Richard Kissling zeigt Tell und seinen Sohn.
1899 wurde nahe dem Ort ein Theater (Tellspielhaus) eröffnet mit dem alleinigen Zweck, Friedrich Schillers Schauspiel Wilhelm Tell aufzuführen.
Altdorf (458 m above sea level) is the capital of the canton of Uri and lies in the Reuss plain. According to Friedrich Schiller's play, this is the place of William Tell's famous apple-shot. After refusing to bow in respect to the bailiff Albrecht Gessler's hat on a pole, he was forced by the latter to shoot an apple off his son's head -- supposedly in the marketplace of Altdorf. Therefore, the Tell monument was built at one of the old towers in 1895. A bronze statue cast by Richard Kissling from Zurich shows Tell and his son.
In 1899, a theater (Tellspielhaus) was built nearby, opened with the sole purpose to stage Friedrich Schiller's play «William Tell».
Lucerna - Löwendenkmal
O Monumento do Leão (em alemão: Löwendenkmal), ou Leão de Lucerna, é uma escultura em Lucerna, na Suíça. Concebida por Bertel Thorvaldsen, homenageia os Guardas Suíços que foram massacrados em 1792 durante a Revolução Francesa, quando revolucionários invadiram o Palácio das Tulherias em Paris, França. O escritor norte-americano Mark Twain (1835–1910) elogiou a escultura de um leão mortalmente ferido como o mais lúgubre e tocante peça em pedra no mundo.
On the trail of William Tell
The next outing finds the family exploring the myth-laden Uri mountain and lake landscape. The trip to Altdorf starts with the Tellbus from Lucerne. Playing the part of police inspectors, the children are investigating the case of the murder of Bailiff Gessler in the Tatort Tell outdoor detective game. The interactive game – in which the crime has to be solved using various aids – takes the family through various villages and past the Tell monument and Tell museum. #LakeLucerneRegion #TatortTell

MEGALITHIC SITE Falera Switzerland - Parc La Mutta
Switzerlands largest, most important megalithic site; the megaliths
here at Parc La Mutta Falera date back to the Bronze Age and the park is under archaeological protection. The site combines aspects of astronomy,mathematics and Bronze Age ritual worship.
This site reveals much of a work-in-progress that Celtic astronomy no doubt was with multiple methods for calendar determination, down to a monument documenting the solar eclipse of December 25, 1089 BCE.
Some of the engravings on the stones are up to 3,500 years old.

Wilhelm Tell Statue mit Burka verhüllt - Islamisierung stoppen!
Immer wie mehr Wirtschaftsflüchtlinge, welche auf der Suche nach Arbeit, jedoch vor allem nach Wohlstand sind, drängen in unseren Kulturkreis ein, darunter auch immer wie mehr Islamisten. Islamisten, von welchen eine Vielzahl Steinigungen für legitim halten, welche andere religiöse und kulturelle Ansichten ablehnen und Frauenrechte grundsätzlich mit Füssen treten. Diese Religion ist im Begriff, halb Europa einzunehmen. In Deutschland, England und Frankreich werden bereits ganze Quartiere und Stadtteile von Islamisten beherrscht. Wer glaubt, dieses Szenario könnte der Schweiz nicht drohen, der ist ein Narr und sieht die wahren Gefahren des Islams nicht!
Um auf die drohende Islamisierung aufmerksam zu machen, hat die PNOS das Wilhelm-Tell-Denkmal in Altdorf mit einer Burka verhüllt. Diese Aktion soll verdeutlichen, wie schnell unsere wertvolle Geschichte in den Trümmern des Islamismus verschwinden könnte, wenn wir jetzt nicht handeln!
Die hiesigen Politiker werden nicht handeln. Die Menschen werden weiterhin die Augen vor der drohenden Islamisierung verschliessen. Die Eidgenossen, welche sich in der PNOS engagieren, erheben jetzt die Stimme gegen die drohende Islamisierung der Schweiz!

The Swiss legends that flow around Lake Lucerne
From the founding of Switzerland to William Tell. Lake Lucerne is the backdrop to the most iconic legends of the Swiss Confederation.
From the founding of Switzerland on the Rütli meadow to the apple pierced by the arrow fired by William Tell, many of the most iconic legends of the Swiss Confederation have one location in common: the wonderful scenery of Lake Lucerne.
Throughout history, thousands of men and women have shaped Switzerland's territory and society. The stories of who they were, the battles, revolutionary ideas or quiet but significant changes have been handed down through generations, and now fill the pages of Swiss history books. The traces of this rich heritage are many, some hidden and unknown.
In this series by Swiss Public Television, RSI, seven places have been chosen that are linked to historical events, myths and legends, that are part of the country's cultural heritage.
The sixth episode of the series visits the Rütli meadow, the place where the oath was sworn between the first three Swiss cantons, and after that, the town square where the legendary William Tell was arrested for not paying tribute to Gessler, the tyrannical governor.

Georges Méliès: Adventures of William Tell (1898)
Guillaume Tell et le Clown (1898)
The scene opens in an artist's studio where the unfinished statue of William Tell stands upon a pedestal. A clown appears and sticks a clay arm and clay head on the statue, thus completing it. He places a large brick on top of the head to make it stick. When he turns his back the statue turns into a living representation of William Tell, and seizing the brick from the top of his head, hits the clown a heavy blow upon the back. After some very strange happenings, the mysterious William Tell finally vanishes in a cloud of smoke, and the clown jumps up from the floor and makes his exit in a very ludicrous manner.
