Lake Switzerland and Lucerne
Description:
Transfer from Zurich to Lucerne with a visit to the most delightful places of central Switzerland (Canton Schwyz, Einsiedeln Monastery).
Through Swiss protected villages and forests, past waterfalls and alpine meadows, we go to Einsiedeln. Excursion to the largest and most beautiful Benedictine Abbey in Switzerland Einsiedeln - Baroque in all its splendor. Approaching Einzadeln, it is difficult to imagine what awaits travelers in this small town. The Monatyr church of the 18th century, in its external and internal form, is the top of the architectural art of the Baroque era. In the temple there is one of the shrines of the Christian world - "Black Mary". She comes to worship the pilgrims to receive blessings on the way. On the square in front of the church building are the Fountain of the Virgin. From 14 holes in the bowl pours holy water. Make a wish and drink water from all 14 streams - you can be sure that it will come true.
Past Lake Zug, our way lies to the shores of Lake Firvaldstet. On this picturesque road past the resort towns we come to Lucerne.
Lucerne is a small fairytale town. The tourist Mecca of Switzerland receives more than 5 million visitors a year. You will admire the beauty of Lake Firvaldstet – the cradle of Swiss statehood. Taking a walk through the main Catholic city of the country, you will see the complete harmony of the coexistence of the past and the modern: medieval cathedrals and churches - a visit to the Jesuit Church of St. Xavier (one of the most beautiful Baroque churches in Switzerland), the world-famous covered Lucerne bridges, cozy medieval streets enclosed in the arms of the fortress wall, and here are modern buildings of the Congres Center and art gallery, hotels-paliers, offering maximum comfort to their guests. The famous Lucerne Dying Lion tells us the story of the courage and heroism of the Swiss Guards. Leave your heart in Lucerne to come back!
