Lake Lucerne is located in central Switzerland. The German name Vierwaldstättersee means ‘Lake of the Four Forest Cantons’. It is the birthplace of the Swiss Confederation. The shore of the lake is winding and connects Lucerne and the surrounding mountains, outlining many beautiful landscapes. The urban area of Lucerne is located on the shore of Lake Lucerne. Every summer, tourists from all over the world gather here to enjoy the mountains and waters and the cool feeling of summer. The beautiful lake view and shore scenery. The crystal-clear and dazzling water of Lake Lucerne is filled with poetic and picturesque scenes. Looking out from the shore of the dock, the spired cathedral, uniquely shaped houses, and neatly trimmed bald trees like mushroom clouds form a colorful picture. There are often swans and waterbirds circling and playing on the lake. The lake’s water and colors reflect the distant snow-capped mountains and the beautiful scenery of the city. Along the shore of Lake Lucerne, there are many beautiful buildings. It is a typical European classical building, only five or six stories high. The walls are painted white, light yellow, blue, pink, and brown. Most of the roofs are bright red. Chapel Bridge and Octagonal Water Tower. Walking along the lake, not far away is a remarkable more than 200-meter-long wooden bridge that spans obliquely across the lake. This is the ancient covered wooden bridge in Europe – Chapel Bridge. In the middle of the bridge is an octagonal water tower, which is also one of the most prominent landmarks in Lucerne. There are brightly colored geraniums planted on the outside of the bridge. From a distance, it really looks like a beautiful ribbon. This place is also called ‘Flower Bridge Water Tower’ by many people and is a favorite place for couples to take pictures. The upright water tower and the lying wooden bridge reflect each other, forming a unique rhythm on Lake Lucerne. There is no noise here, no backs one after another. It is quiet and peaceful.
