It has Charakter





I wandered in too the quaint town of Lucerne and it was as beautiful as I imagined. It oozed character and charm...While I was there I also bumped into the start of what is going to be a large carnival which is going to be happening over the next month!
I only had a taster of what is to come.

'Fasnachts - Maart LFK'




Every year, towards the end of winter, Carnival breaks out in the streets, alleyways and squares of the old town. This is a glittering outdoor party, where chaos and merriness reign and nothing is as it normally is. Strange characters in fantastic masks and costumes make their way through the alleyways, while carnival musicians (Guggenmusigen) blow their instruments in joyful cacophony and thousands of bizarrely clad people sing and dance away the winter.
