Kapellbrücke And Ferrys

On Thursday we went to Luzern to walk around the city and see the famous chapel bridge called the Kapellbrücke.

Apparently it is the oldest wooden covered bridge in Europe. In an effort to sound well cultured I shall pretend like I knew about it and was very interested in seeing it. Regardless of my previous knowledge of said bridge, it was actually quite impressive.

Part of the bridge had burnt down one fateful summer evening in the year 1993 (one of the most momentous events that occurred that August second only to my birth) and was subsequently restored. It is now one of Switzerland's main tourists attractions, a fact which was made evident by the vast quantities of tourists that we encountered as we attempted to cross the bridge.

 After visiting Europe's oldest wooden covered bridge we got back in the car and made our way to the ferry which took us and our car across the lake.




And herein ends another exciting Swiss-Cheese-Land adventure.

Stay tuned for more, maybe.
