Lucerne – social and cultural centre of central Switzerland

After a good breakfast from the large buffet, we will take a short walk to the nearby pier. There we will take one of the steam powered ships for a one hour ride over the lake to Lucerne. From the ship we will enjoy a magnificent view over the mountains, especially Rigi and Bürgenstock.

In the middle of Lucerne we will tour the city which takes us to the famous landmarks „chapel-bridge“ and the „church of St. Leodegar“. In the centre of the city we will visit the popular historical Lions-monument and the nearby glacier garden, which takes us back to the time where large glaciers covered the land.

After a relaxing boat ride back to Vitznau we meet up again for dinner at the hotel-terrace. There will be a delicious fondue-chinoise meal with salad and dessert buffet prepared for us. And in the picture below we have the beautiful view over the lake and the mountains.

Switzerland worldwide…

After breakfast we will take our cars for a ride to Brunnen. There we will stop off by the Victorinox visitor center where we will attend an exhibition about the history of the famous Swiss army knife.

See, smell and taste. Our senses will be pleasured at the Dettling-Cherryworld. We will enter a world of fine cherry-water and hear all about cherries and cherry-water.

After this we start our road trip through the Swiss mountains and around the lakes. The route leads us past the mountain peaks of the „little and large Mythen“ and further on to Morgarten. Here in 1315, the battle between the confederates and the Habsburger took place. Along the Ägerilake we drive to Zug and after that along the Lake Zug to Arth, where we have a lovely view at the Rigi hiking area. Once we leave we can look down at the very beautiful Lake . If we drive thru the town of it’s only a short way back to the hotel in Vitznau.

The same evening we will enjoy a Gala-dinner with a special ambiance engaged with live music and a direct view over the Lake Lucerne. After a 4-course meal there will hopefully be no more to wish for.

At the end of our beautiful trip…

Once again we start the day off with a good breakfast and after a last look at Lake Lucerne some of you will already hit the road back home.

Those of you, who will still have time and are interested, may like to join us for a visit to the fortress Vitznau. They will show us how soldiers live in the mountains. There is a lot to see, for example a 500m (0.31 miles) tunnel, giant ammo depots, big canons which reach south Germany, a power plant, workshops, an operating theatre and a small hotel. After a 1.5 hour guided tour, we will have lunch with original Military-cheese-bread.

And now the time has come to say goodbye to all you SM-friends and to a beautiful part of Switzerland. We hope you leave us with many great memories from this weekend.

We would be happy to welcome as many of you as possible, to this beautiful part of Switzerland.

I look forward to seeing you, Peter Horvath, president of the Citroen-Maserati-Club-Swiss.
