A small oasis on the beautiful Sempachersee. The newly designed bathing area with such a great restaurant and the new (from 2025) hosts Marco Helfenstein and Nadja Getzmann. They are so friendly and simply great hosts. Coffee, food, drinks can be found in many places, but with friendliness, there is that certain something extra! You can't drive past this!

The church was founded in the 13th century and is one of the oldest churches in Lucerne. It was part of a Franciscan monastery that no longer exists today. Inside, you can find valuable works of art and an organ that is regularly used for concerts. The church is a vibrant place of faith and culture. 🎶🙏

The Reusszopf recreational area in Lucerne is a natural river landscape where the Reuss and the Kleine Emme unite 🌿🌊. This area is a valuable green retreat in the middle of the city and offers diverse opportunities for recreation and nature observation.

The Freigleis is a former railway line of the Zentralbahn in Lucerne. After the railway was laid underground, it was converted into an approximately three-kilometer-long bicycle and footpath, which has connected the Steghof district with Kriens and Horw since 2016.

Besides the main road and the railway tracks, there is a pleasantly flat path directly on the banks of the Reuss. Perfect for walking from the city to Emmen (or vice versa).
