A cable car passes in front of Lake Lucerne as it reaches the summit of Mount Pilatus. Mount Pilatus rises high over the shores of Lake Lucerne, only a short bus ride away from the centre of Lucerne itself. The mountain rose to prominence in the 19th century, when Wagner – a famous resident of Lucerne – hailed its vistas and Queen Victoria visited its summit on horseback. The peak rises 2,132m (7,000ft) high and popular legend has it that it was named after Pontius Pilate, whose corpse was thrown into a lake at its summit and whose ghost haunted the mountain ever since. However, it is more likely named for the Latin word ‘pileatus’, meaning cloud-covered, given the weather conditions which often surround it. While Queen Victoria rode her horse to the summit, it is now possible to take either a cable car or a funicular train to reach the top – the latter is dependent on the season, as snow covers the tracks during winter. At the summit, there is a visitor centre, hotels and restaurants, as well as various footpaths which lead you to viewpoints over Lake Lucerne on one side and the Swiss Alps in the distance on the other. Lake Lucerne in centre of Switzerland is at the heart of the region where the Swiss Confederation was born in 1291. It was on the south shore of the lake, at Rütli Meadow that four cantons swore allegiance to each other. The lake itself – known as Vierwaldstättersee in German – twists through the Alpine landscape, from Lucerne itself in the north west, to Altdorf in the south east. There are mountains rising high above its shores, with Mt Pilatus and Mt Rigi two of the most famous, offering views over its vast expanse. Steamers, ferries and pleasure cruisers ply their trade along the length of the lake, offering an escape from the towns and a superb vista of the shoreline, as you pull into scenic villages such as Weggis and Vitznau.
Umbrien, oftmals als das grüne Herz Italiens bezeichnet, liegt zwar nicht am Meer, beim Dörferhopping kommt man dennoch auf seine Kosten.
