Lucerne hotels collection

The clock on the Zyt tower has the privilege of striking a minute before every other clock in Lucerne. Further down, around the Weinmarkt, the houses of the old town are painted straight onto the render, right up to the gables. Where the lake flows out, the water level is still set by hand: the wooden needles of a weir on the Reuss are put in or drawn out. Close by, the Spreuer Bridge shelters a painted dance of death beneath its roof. Death comes there for each at their work.
