On Pilatus we were above the clouds, so it sort of felt like we were at the top of the world, even though we were only at 7000 feet. (Renggeli, Nidwalden, Switzerland)
Took Pilatusbahn, the steepest cogwheel railway in the world (48% grade!), to the top of Pilatus. The views on the way were fantastic. (Alpnachstad, Obwalden, Switzerland)
Toured Luzern’s old town this morning and admired all the murals on their buildings. (Altstadt – Wey, Lucerne, Switzerland)
✅ Rösti ?
✅ Sausages
✅ Luzerner Käsekuchen ??
The Luzerner Käsekuchen deserves a bit of explanation. It is an apparently traditional local dish for Luzern, and was billed as a “cheese pie” with Gruyere and Emmentaler cheeses. It was like a cheese quiche, but cheesier.
