Description
The tour starts with the fire horn followed by the Nightwatchman call. Here you
go. Nightwatchman Ralf introduces himself and tells you about his live in the
middle ages.

You see the Martiniplan, a 400 years old city map and you hear from Martin
Martini the genius copper engraver, counterfeiter and loudmouth. The Night
Watchman shows you tonight's walking route on the Martini map. He also tells you
about the main city buildings and the fortification of Old Lucerne. You will
discover that many of the buildings have been well kept over the centuries and
still attract the Lucerne visitor of today.



The Kapellbrücke, 1897

The most photographed attraction in Switzerland is the Water Tower, which was
built a few decades before the wooden Chapel Bridge.
You get to know about the inside of the Water Tower and the torture chamber.






The Toggeli (The Nightmare)

A few steps around the corner, you hear about living in the blooming Republic of
Lucerne.
Walking through the Furrengasse you learn about its Ghost and the Toggelis
around him.

On Kornmarkt you see the Lucerne Foot and Elle on the wall of the Town Hall. You
hear the story of the "Giant of Reiden".




The Riot of Lucerne

In the Brandgässli Alley you get to know about the Riot of Lucerne before you
reach the lower wine market, where once the pillory was located.

You continue to the Zöpfli, where the Nightwatchman introduces you to medieval
law and order. Learn about medieval prosecution, interrogation methods, corporal
punishment and death penalties.

Then you cross the Reussbrücke, pass the house of the "Swiss King", walk by the
former pawn shop and the mint house to the Alte Suidtersche Apotheke. There you
see the window of the medieval pharmacy.

A few steps further you see the legendary house of Lux Ritter and you may ask
yourself why the first two floors look different than the third floor. The
Nightwatchman knows. Listen to the story of the unlucky mason of Hans von
Trient, also known as Giovanni Lynzo.

One of tonight's highlight is the Dance of Death, an art piece of seven
paintings created by Jakob von Wyl. See the pictures and listen to what the
Nightwatchman has to tell you about it.



The Dance of Dead by Jacob von Wyl, Panel 2.

You continue upriver and pass the Jesuitenkirche. You see the town hall from
another point of view, while the Night Watchman tells you about the special
feature on the architecture of that Renaissance building.
You cross the Chapel Bridge to the starting point, where the tour ends.
