My Lucerne ❤️
Very pleasant experience, our guide is very kind, he explained everything to us during our excursion, we were picked up at the Lucerne train station, in front of the tourist information office as planned, we went by shuttle boat to Bürgenstock, then we took the funicular to go up, a short walk of about 30 min then we took the Hammetschwand elevator, the landscapes are breathtaking, I highly recommend 🫶
