The name from Lucerne means in Latin word "lucerna", translated "the light".

Such a beautiful city indeed but that's not a surprise for a Swiss one. I had a short stop there back in 2010 when I crossed Switzerland on my bike on a super cold late October snowy day. I couldn't skip this beauty but it was so cold that after a couple of pictures by the river I rushed to jump on my bike to continue my ride up to Austria.

it was also very cold that day, many thanks!
