Altro...EuroTripping – Lucerne
On our “European Pretzel” this past summer, we decided to explore Lucerne after our hike down to the town of Engelberg (the topic of last week’s post) before heading back to our home base just outside Basel.
We only spent a short time wandering about but we did cross both covered bridges over the river Reuss and meandered by some of the painted facades in the Old Town and I found myself quite charmed.
Here are some images shot while strolling around Lucerne, Switzerland back at the end of June.
