Luzern is about a one hour train trip from Meiringen over the scenic Brunig pass. This page is a collection of photos from more than one trip there.
An interesting visit was to Fortress Furiigen just outside the lakefront town of Stansstad near Luzern. The fortress is an underground bunker invisible from the outside. It was built in 1941 and decommissioned in 1987. It could accommodate 100 men. Its armaments include two 7.5 cm cannons and three machine guns.
Other visits to Luzern included the Swiss Transport Museum which encompasses all modes of transportation and covers several buildings. Several photos will be familiar scenes that all tourists take. Just north of the old town is the famous lion sculpture. This sculpture is 33 feet long and 20 feet tall and is carved into the face of the cliff. It represents the Swiss mercenaries who were killed or executed defending the French king in the French Revolution.
