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 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.
