We will go to Luzern for one night on saturday (12 hours by train from where i live (map), 2 hours from my girlfriends home) and visit Mt. Pilatus (2.128 m).

We will stay in the beautiful old town district of Luzern, directly at the Vierwaldstätter Lake. We will probably go to the summit of Mount Pilatus via rack-railway — the steepest railway on earth!

It might be a bit of an overkill to travel that far just for one night, but Desirée had to leave my island to go back home and start to study. So i am going there anyway and it’s just two hours by train from where she lives — and we have both been to Luzern before when we were kids and now we want to visit it together.

We did some 1-day trips before and we can only recommend it (to Kopenhagen, Hamburg, Lac Blanc and Isle of Amrum) and even if it sounds too short, it always felt like a real vacation. Here is a short clip (i found on the web) from the top of Pilatus — with a killer-view!
