| Pilatus Kulm - the world's steepest cogwheel railway |
The train runs along an incredible 48 degree incline |
Amidst verdant carpeted hills, wildflowers and cowbells |
View of Lake Lucerne from the top - not much has changed over the 30 years since my last visit.

The flower bedecked, art adorned, once burned but now newly restored Kapellbrucke
is one of the most beautiful bridges in the world, at par with Charles Bridge in Prague,
Golden Gate bridge in San Francisco and Rialto Bridge in Venice.
