City of the Wooden Bridges, Lucerne 1615
A compact Catholic market republic straddling the outflow of Lake Lucerne, its streets threaded by the great roofed wooden bridges and ringed by the Musegg fortifications. This walk crosses both covered bridges, moves through the busy river quays and market squares, and climbs to the town wall and nearby heights beneath Pilatus's snow-capped ridge.
25 scenes, 16 streets, squares and views, 9 interiors to step inside. Planned from the Wikipedia record of Lucerne as it stood in 1615 (“Lucerne”).
