- Lake Lucerne
Lake Lucerne is situated in the heart of Switzerland and is one of the most famous destinations for lovers of the beauty of nature. Its complicated shape and the four arms extending into different valleys between towering mountains remind travellers of the landscape of the fjords.
- Mount Rigi
Mount Rigi, also known as 'The Queen of the Mountains', is located in the heart of Switzerland. The mountain is part of the Scwyzer Alps and is surrounded by three different bodies of water: Lake Zug, Lake Lucerne, and Lake Laurez. It has been a popular tourist attraction for many years as it is only 13 miles from Lucerne and 30 miles from Zurich's city centre.
