At 2,132m, the "dragon mountain"- commands glorious views of Central Switzerland - 73 alpine summits can be seen from here on a clear day. Do you want to experience this in the most spectacular of ways? Then spend a day on the "Golden Round Trip"-!
Travel from Lucerne to Alpnachstad by steamer, and then continue on the steepest cogwheel railway in the world, travelling through the sheer Eselswand cliff face. Time for a short stroll on the "dragon mountain"-? Or maybe a longer walk? Whatever you choose, the view is free for all - discover the more than 900 different plant species and - with a little bit of fantasy - maybe a friendly dragon.
On the other side of the mountain, try out Switzerland's longest summer toboggan run, before taking the cable car down to Kriens, where the bus will be waiting to take you back to Lucerne.
