Alpine Park

A narrow mule track leads along winding paths through the green Alpine Park up to Sommerau with wonderful views over the city of Lucerne to the Alps. Passing a waterfall, rock faces, grottos and boulders, you will encounter alpine plants and primeval relics such as ginkgo and sequoia, which were part of the Swiss subtropical vegetation 20 million years ago. A short mountain tour - in the middle of the city.
