It looked beautiful today in the sun, and lunch opposite good too, in the Hotel Sonne.

In the 1960's, I had to go there with the family, but wanted to stay in Zürich with my friend.

Nevertheless, father and I had a 'heavy' discussion in front of this church, when suddenly called us by name: it was our parish chaplain, who accompanied a group on a pilgimmage to Rome, and they made a break there.

And then I decided, I could go better to Rome ...

We went straight back to our hotel at the Lake of Constance. :wink:


Went there, however, later again, as an adult.

That must have been a spooky experience. Today was not a very important day for pilgrims, and I enjoyed the exuberance of the pretty inside of the church without the significance of its religiosity.

Luzern is great, too - how does the bridge look alike now? Nothing to notice re burnt?

(Interesting legends about it, btw:
A German poet says, "Charlemagne the great king lives still [406] with his heroes. It is in Desenberg that he rests from his conquests. The mountain dwarfs guard his dwelling. There, in the broad halls, the heroes repose, overpowered with sleep, bound by an unseen hand. Around them are their glittering arms, ready to be donned for the battle. They breathe softly; they dream of war and victory. And at a marble table in the middle of the hall Charlemagne sits: his head reclines upon his breast; his countenance beams with the fire of youth; his hair and beard fall in long white waves to the ground. Long time has he waited there with his comrades. Oftentimes the dawning of their new life seems at hand, and a hum of joy runs through the halls. Then all the warriors rise to their feet: they seize their lances and their swords; but suddenly their joy is quenched, and again their eyes are closed in slumber. Only the king remains awake for a while; and he cries out, until the sound is echoed through the mountains, 'Ye dwarfs who guard my dwelling, what year is this?' The dwarfs answer; and the shadows settle again upon his features. 'Sleep on, comrades,' he says, 'the hour has not yet come.' With a dull sound, each warrior falls prone upon the earth: they sleep, and await the hour when the spell shall be broken. The king, with his long white beard, and his flowing hair, and his countenance glowing with youth, sits again at the marble table."

More common here is, however, the story, that King Frederick Barbarossa is living in there.)

Nevertheless, this seems to be easier:

Well, wine, is served there in restaurants and cafés, and perhaps someone got a small vineyard in his court - but, no: no wine region.

Just correct about the country, I wanted to say.

The favourite drink there is, however, "fruity" as well ...
