During our time in Lucerne, we visited Mount Rigi, often called the "Queen of the Mountains," as the journey was included with the Swiss Rail Travel Pass. Our adventure began with a 30-minute train ride from Lucerne's main station (Luzern Bahnhof) to Arth-Goldau. From there, we boarded a cogwheel train that provided a stunning, scenic ascent to the summit of Mount Rigi. The cogwheel train is particularly fascinating due to its use of a toothed rack rail system in the center of the track, enabling it to navigate steep gradients that standard trains cannot handle. #magicalxmastrip #europetrip #europe #Switzerland #swiss #lucerne #alps #luzern #rigi #tripblazers #train #cogwheel #scenicride

If you ask me which part of Switzerland I love, I can outright say not Zurich for sure but its either interlaken or luzern. Interlaken is more towards the nature settings with glorious mountain backdrops. Luzern city itself is filled with many historical attractions with stories too! 1 of which is the Chapel Bridge, where the bridge had a major restoration due to a big fire in 1993 which is also written as part of the story in the Chapel bridge information. Not too far off there is also the lion monument where this is a carved stone dying lion to attribute the 1792 tuileries war. There is also the hofkirche st. leodegar Catholic Church which is a old 18th century Church that is beautifully built and still standing tall and gorgeous. #fallingforfall #switzerland #scenic #view #luzern #gorgeous #historical
