Swiss Travels Itinerary 10 Luzern

Swiss Travels Itinerary 10 Luzern

Luzern, located in the German-speaking region, is the capital of the Swiss province of Lucerne, on the shores of Lake Lucerne.  Lucerne has become an important tourist city due to its beautiful natural scenery and unique humanistic feelings.  Altitude: 422 meters.  Site area: 37.4 square kilometers.  Population: 403,400 (2017) Eurostat

Lucerne, a city on the shores of Lake Lucerne with natural and cultural beauty, it was first developed from a small fishing village and is now a hub for transportation in central Switzerland. There are many Swiss attractions in the city.  For a good stay like the Lucerne Schweizer Hotel, it is recommended that you stay here for one night.

Whether you are visiting the historic attractions such as the Chapel Bridge, the St. Leo de Gard Church, the Lion Monument, the Musegg Wall, or simply strolling along the lake, shopping at the Swan Square shopping street is good.  People like it.

The important sight of Lucerne that you can't help but travel to Lucerne is the "Kappellbrucke" which connects the north and south shores.  Built in the 13th century, it is the oldest covered wooden bridge in Europe, the famous landmark of Lucerne, the most beautiful town scenery, and the status of Lucerne has remained high since ancient times.  In ancient times, it was one of the important defensive barriers that Lucerne used to resist as a foreign soldier. The bridge that is now a must-see for Lucerne is impressive.































Kabel Bridge Kapellbrucke
Construction time: 1333
Full length: 204 meters, the longest wooden bridge in Europe
History: A fire broke out in 1993, and the painted woodblock prints on the restored beams tell the story of the past seventeenth-century history of Switzerland and the guardian saints of Lucerne.  How important is the city from ancient times to the present.  Although not very familiar with the history of Switzerland, I still feel that such design and display, as well as the preservation of such ancient buildings, make people know how much the Swiss care about their culture and history.

Lion Monument.   Author: Danish sculptor Bo Teer · Torvald Erde Sen

The sights that must be visited by Lucerne, as well as the dying lion statue.  If you don't understand his history, you might think it's a rock sculpture that is engraved on the stone.  But knowing the reason for the construction of this monument, you will know how fascinating the lion's emotions and movements are.  The painful expression of the deep heart pierces the infection.  At the same time, I realized that when Mark Twain saw it, he didn’t need a poor lion to describe it.

Instead, use "the saddest lion in the world" to complete the historical background of this lion statue.  The dying lion was engraved on a very large granite stone, no matter the muscle lines or the lion's expression, the mane, the claws, there is no trace of the horse.  The two shields in front of it, on the one hand, represent the cross emblem of Switzerland, and on the other side, the irises representing the French royal family, to commemorate the more than 700 Swiss mercenaries who died in the 1792 French Revolution at the Place de la Concorde in Paris.  The grief of this period of history was deeply imprinted on the granite wall by Danish sculptors, and the mourning was too beautiful.  The Latin word "HELVETIORUM FIDEI AC VIRTUTI" is engraved on top of the stone statue. The translation is "Dedicated to loyal and brave Swiss soldiers."

瑞士遊記2 日內瓦

圖片
日內瓦是瑞士第二大城市，也是日內瓦州的首府。它建於日內瓦湖畔，流經羅納河。如今，日內瓦因許多國際組織而享有盛譽，其中包括聯合國日內瓦辦事處。 日內瓦是一座著名的國際城市。國際聯盟總部於兩次世界大戰之間設立。如今，仍有許多國際組織在日內瓦設有總部或辦事處，包括國際紅十字會總部。隸屬於聯合國的組織包括世界衛生組織。 日內瓦的名字源自於公元前凱爾特人建造的古城。羅馬將軍凱撒在高盧戰役中提到了日內瓦。日內瓦一詞首次出現在凱撒的著作《高盧戰爭》中，也就是他對高盧戰爭的看法。這個名字最初可能與利古里亞（現熱那亞）的熱那亞城相同，意為“膝蓋”，這表明日內瓦特殊的地理位置處於一個角落；然而，日內瓦這個名字的起源更有可能被確定。 gen 的字根為「誕生」（Genawa 位於日內瓦湖畔，日內瓦河的源頭；Geneva 或許意為「水的誕生」）。被羅馬征服後，日內瓦成為「羅馬行省」（Provincia Romana）的一部分。西元前58年，凱撒在日內瓦西部包圍了赫爾維迪人。西元9世紀，日內瓦成為勃根地的首府。儘管日內瓦一直是勃艮地人、法蘭克人和神聖羅馬帝國爭奪的對象，但實際上，日內瓦一直由其主教統治，直到宗教改革時期，日內瓦成為共和國。由於加爾文等人所領導的宗教改革，日內瓦常被稱為「新教羅馬」。 16世紀的日內瓦是加爾文主義新教會的中心；舊城區的日內瓦聖彼得大教堂是加爾文自己的教堂。在英國瑪麗一世時期，新教徒遭到強烈迫害，因此大批新教教職人員逃往日內瓦，其中包括威廉·惠廷厄姆及其合作者邁爾斯·卡弗（後來監督了日內瓦聖經的翻譯工作）、邁爾斯·科弗代爾、克里斯托弗·古德曼、安東尼·吉爾比、托馬斯·桑普森和威廉·科爾。 日內瓦位於北緯46°12，東經6°09'，在日內瓦湖的西南角匯入羅納河。東面瀕臨日內瓦湖，南北三面被兩座山脈環繞。南面是阿爾卑斯山脈，包括著名景點薩萊夫山，它是汝拉山脈的一部分。 日內瓦市面積15.86平方公里，而整個日內瓦州面積282平方公里，包括沃州（塞利尼）環繞的兩塊土地。日內瓦湖地區面積38平方公里，常稱為「小湖」。日內瓦州與瑞士其他地區接壤僅4.5公里。在107.5公里的邊界線中，有103公里與法國接壤：北部與安大略省接壤，南部與上薩瓦省接壤。

瑞士遊記3 日內瓦湖 28日下午日內瓦湖遊船。印象最深除了岸上風景外，就是船的機器—塵不染。 洛桑（ Lausanne ）是瑞士法語區城市，位於萊芒湖（法語： Lac Léman ）北岸，與法國城市埃維昂萊班隔湖相望，北面是汝拉山脈。洛桑位於日內瓦東北約 62 公里處，是瑞士聯邦沃州和洛桑區（英語： Lausanne District ）首府，同時也是大洛桑都會區核心城市、瑞士第四大城市。洛桑與鄰近的日內瓦一樣，是許多著名的國際組織例如國際奧委會等的總部所在地，因此也稱為「奧林匹克首都」。洛桑境內的洛桑管理學院亦是世界一流的著名學府與研究機構。洛桑也位於瑞士釀酒區的中心位置。另外，位於洛桑的洛桑聯邦理工學院是瑞士兩所聯邦理工學院之一。 洛桑最重要的地理的特徵是萊芒湖，與法國城市埃維昂隔湖相望。洛桑建立在瑞士高原南方的斜坡。洛桑在這個湖上方自豪地擁有一幅迴轉畫。 市中心是一條古老的河——弗隆河（ Flon ）的所在地，它從第 19 世紀起就已經消失了。這條以前的河形成一道峽谷經過老城中心南邊城市的中間，通常跟隨 Rue Centrale ，帶有幾座橋經過臨近的地區。「弗隆」這個名字也用於位於峽谷的地下鐵車站。 洛桑的邊界，東至廣闊的產酒區拉沃葡萄園梯田，西至 la Côte 。 洛桑都會區的人口大約 25 萬人（ 2005 年）。 法國人稱萊芒湖（lac Léman），瑞士人稱日內瓦湖（lac de Genève），是西歐的重要湖泊。 湖略呈新月形，湖北岸和東西兩端分屬瑞士沃州、瓦萊州和日內瓦州，南岸則屬於法國上薩瓦省。 瑞士和法國分別佔有湖面的60%和40%。 湖東西長約75公里，南北最寬處約14公里，水面積約582平方公里，是中歐面積第二大的淡水湖，僅次於巴拉頓湖。 其最深處水深310米，湖水容積估計為88.9立方公里，流域面積則達7975平方公里。 新月的形狀在伊弗的南岸開始變形，而因此被分為東邊的大湖（Grand Lac）和西邊的小湖（Petit Lac）。 湖在隆河的流經路線當中，這條河的源頭位於湖東部格里姆瑟爾山口附近的隆河冰河，流經瓦萊州，並流入維倫紐夫和聖然戈爾夫（Saint-  Gingolph...
