The Serenity of Chapel Bridge in Lucerne, Switzerland

on September 28, 2018

Chapel Bridge, or Kapellbrücke, is a famous landmark in the city of Lucerne located in central Switzerland. This wooden footbridge is the oldest wooden covered bridge in Europe, dating back to the middle of the 14th century. The bridge crosses diagonally on the Reuss River and it is a must to cross while visiting the city. Do not miss the history of the city through the paintings on the ceiling while strolling!
