Out on Lake Lucerne
Lake Lucerne is in found in the heartland of Central Switzerland and has been integral to the area’s shipping industry since the Middle Ages. Whilst the lake used to carry ships laden with materials from the nearby quarries, the Gotthard railway saw the lake fall out of use as an industrial site. Now the lake is used for tourism - we recommend catching a boat trip on one of the 5 paddle steamers, some of which are more than 100 years old.
