The Lake, Geutsch Bridge & Mussegmauer Wall

Alrighty....I guess it's about time to get it posted on the places that i have went so far since i reached here....well, before classes were given the chance to start, a group of us took the opportunity to explore Luzern and have a walk on their shopping street. Okies....1st stop:

THE LAKE

I bet many of you know that Switzerland is very well-known for their huge lake and beautiful scenery....well, this place has both of it...huge lake and beautidul scenery as a back drop. The Lake is not any tourist site where everyone goes to visit but it's part of a very interesing place I've went to because it doesnt need much traveling as it is situated below the mountain area of my uni.....approximately 10 to 15 minutes walk only. Plus....the walk can never be boring cause there are so much to see on rich people's houses. They're not only huge but the design and structure of the houses are magnificent.....*salute the architects who put their work on it*

Along the pathway

Nice backdrop isnt it?

Isnt the water just so CLEAN???

Groupie pic....I wasnt ready though...=S

The lake is so wide and huge that it can be seen even from my uni.....it's so beautiful and the water is Crystal CLEAR!!Furthermore, the mountains as the backdrop of the lake makes it even nicer.....breath-taking. =) The facial expression from everyone when we reached was the mouth forming into an O shape following after a "WOW". lolz....

I didnt know my uni is so close to such a nice attraction.....hehe!Well, it was so close to the time that we're about to go back to the apartment, so, we had to catch the bus and didnt manage to stay for long. Never mind...definitely a next time...=P

GEUTSCH BRIDGE

Nothing says Geutsch Bridge....this is a bridge that's made out of wood and has been there for ages if im not mistaken....It's right in the middle of Luzern Town and it just next to the shopping street and being in a very busy area as the Main bus station and train station is just opposite...

It was cold

The way to the entrance

It isnt like any other tourist attraction site because you dont have to travel very far to get to see this bridge.....as mentioned above, it's in the middle of Luzern. Cool?pretty...at least for me. I pass it everyday cause it's the only way for me to go to uni and back from there. Okay, Geutsch Bridge looks old and it's not brand new....what do you expect from a bridge that's old and made out of thick wood?However, every person who visits Luzern and come across this bridge will never take their eyes off....no matter how often you see it...because it is just plain nice to see! Well, other than that, *this can only be seen when you're walking on the bridge* every top of the ceiling, there's a board that's decorated with drew-on pictures and every board along the whole bridge has a different drawing to it. Beautiful and it looks very ancient.

MUSSEGMAUER WALL

The Guide

Olla~~!!this is where exploration brings you.....not knowing where you're going and just being out of curiosity we found this place with breath-taking scenery. We were just on our way back to the bus station after walking in the shopping street but a very narrowed stairway peeked our curiosity and so we decided to try the narrowed way to see what's up there...cause as you know...msia dont really have an ancient narrowed stairway which is CLEAN you know...so we tried....once up there there weren't anything but an empty area with a few cars. But you know...it's part of exploration, so we didnt give up till we're satisfied to find something interesting. After a few miles of walking up the hilly road, we reached saw another really narrowed stairway which will lead us high up to dont-know-where. Curiosity again and we were so full with energy the other day, we climbed that high and narrow stairway and along the way....the view was already very beautiful...(like i said...everywhere is beautiful here), all snowy white. We were still very blur and didnt know where we were besides knowing that the concrete thing along the place is really huge and ancient, till we saw the board at the entrance of something narrowly small as an entrance I (ever wonder why things that are narrow or ancient looking make us feel excited?i have no idea also...)

Blurred out Kevin after the sight

Us who made it...woohoo *plus alex*


And it was the bridge that we have came to reach with one eye close. Mussegmauer Wall is some ancient wall that was built to somehow protect the citizens living there...that's why some of the houses were at the other side of the wall.....only protecting some perhaps?i dont know.....? =S The wall is so huge, tall and long that it stretch till dont-know-where. Really nice and the view that you can capture....olla olla voila!Unfortunately some didnt manage to see it cause they were too tired and they wanted to go back to haldenrain (our apartment). wasted but dont hesitate to go try the walk again....you'll love it at the end of the walk....trust me. =)

Voilaa.....the end of our trip...

So....that's about the places that I find interesting that I've visited so far....Loving Swiss?

P/S: next post will be on King's Day and Shopping Street

Till then....Toodless!!
