In the afternoon, we will cross the Brünig pass on our way to Lucerne. In Lucerne we will visit the
Glacier Garden, which contains the historic relief model of central Switzerland, constructed by Franz Ludwig Pfyffer von Wyher
in the years 1747 to 1786. There is time for an optional walk through the city of Lucerne. The Vitznau-Rigi Railway, the first mountain train in Europe (it started operations in 1871), will take us to the top of Mt. Rigi (1800 m above sea level) where we will spend the night at a hotel.

cartographic holdings of the Landesbibliothek Glarus
and we can look at maps of the important 19th
century Linth river control project.
