English term or phrase: stirring lion
Today we travel through spectacular Alpine scenery as we leave the Austrian Alps for a stop in the capital of the small principality of Liechtenstein, dominated by Vaduz Castle. Then along the Walensee Lake to Lucerne where we see the covered Chapel Bridge and the stirring Lion Monument, dedicated to the Swiss guards that died defending the French King. later, there's time at leisure to explore the town or shop for that special Swiss timepiece or local chocolate, before reaching our hotel. Hotel: Luzernerhof. (B,D)
