Lake Lucerne or the “Vierwaldstättersee” is the fourth largest lake in Switzerland. The name in original German means “Four Forested Cities Lake”, although there are more than four cities along its shoreline. There are more than enough things to see and do along Lake Lucerne to fill two vacations. A visit to the Swiss Museum of Transport is an absolute must. It is Switzerland’s most popular museum, with interactive exhibits, artefacts, shows, and even a planetarium. Stop for a stroll across the Chapel Bridge. One of three covered wooden footbridges in Lucerne, it is the oldest of its kind in Europe. Marvel at the glorious mountains around the lake, the Pilatus and Rigi. Exhaust yourself hiking. Pay your respects to the Swiss Guards who died during the French Revolution at the Lion Monument and finish your vacation at Lake Lucerne with a visit to Nature and Animal Park Goldau where deer, lynx, and even bears live in semi-freedom. Whatever you choose to do, bring a picnic basket and blanket for a breath of fresh mountain air.
It can be easily visited on foot.
One can take a ferry from Luzern Bahnhofquai to Hertenstein. It will charge around 16 CHF and will take 31 minutes.
A taxi might charge more exorbitantly.
