Mount Rigi

We experienced several modes of transportation today from a train to a boat, to a cog-wheel train and then a cable car. 

From Zurich we rode by the train to Luzern and almost immediately got on a boat on Lake Lucern.  But first the requisite picture of the covered pedestrian bridge. It should be noted that the bridge was built in the 1400’s but burned down in 1993.  It was lovingly reconstructed exactly as it was before the fire.  Luckily the pictures from inside the structure were being repaired at the time of the fire so they did not burn and are on display.

I love looking inside churches and I was glad we peaked in the Jesuitkirche.  It was so pretty!
The boat took us to Vitznau where we rode the cog-wheel train up to the top of Mt. Rigi at 6,000 ft. The views were spectacular!  Half way down we transferred to a cable car that took us to Weggis (pronounced ‘Vegas’) and the boat back to Lucern.
The rooftop lounge was a great spot to spend an evening visiting with Mike and Diane while drinking wine.
