Pilatus So close to Lucerne and so easy to reach by public transport, Mount Pilatus (2123 m alti-tude) is the perfect peak for everyone, large or small. 2 aerial cableways, 2 hotels, 7 restaurants and the world's steepest cowheel railway guarantee exciting excursions. Titlis This unique glacier paradise is conveniently located just a short distance from Lucerne. Mount Titlis is also home of the Rose d’Or Hall of Fame which honors those organizations, individuals or shows which have contributed most in the entertainment industry. Musegg Wall A part of the rampart walls built in 1386; the wall is still almost entirely intact. Three towers are open to the public: Schirmer, Zyt and Männli. The oldest city clock, built by Hans Luter in 1535, is in the Zyt tower. This clock is allowed to chime every hour one minute before all the other city clocks. Swiss Transport Museum (with IMAX film theater) The Swiss Transport Museum is the most varied museum for transportation and communication in Euruope. More than 3,000 items are exhibited in a space as large as 40,000 square meters. The planetarium, which is based on digital technology, takes visitors on a trip through the vastness of the universe. In the “Gotthard Tunnel”, you can travel into the moun-tain and experience the building of the tunnel during 1875. The Imax film theater guarantees to bring about strong emotions and offer an imcomparable film experience. It is the only one of its kind in Switzerland. The most recent attraction is called “Swissarena”. With almost 200 square meters, it displays the largest orthophotograph of Switzerland from the air. Lion Monument “The dying Lion of Lucerne” is one of the world's most famous monuments. It was carved out of natural rock in memory of the heroic deaths of the Swiss mercenaries at the Tuileries in 1792. Mark Twain described the Lion of Lucerne as “the saddest and most moving piece of rock in the world”. |
