Solothurn and Luzerne

It feels so great to sneak away mid-week and ride trains to beautiful destinations. We first stopped in Solothurn, a quaint city with an amazing old town on the way to Luzerne.

When we arrived in Luzerne, the sun broke through the clouds and we hopped on a boat for a jaw-droppingly beautiful ride around Lake Luzerne. Had just enough time to visit the wooden bridge, the "sleeping lion" (an impressive sculpture in the side of the mountain), and to eat warm roasted chestnuts before hopping on the train back to Geneva.
