Oh boy, do I have a story to tell you about the Musegg Wall in Lucerne. This thing is a medieval marvel, a time capsule from another era, and a must-visit for anyone who loves history, architecture, or just really cool old stuff.

The Musegg Wall is a series of fortified walls and towers that date back to the 14th century. These walls were built to protect the city of Lucerne from invaders, and they still stand tall and proud today, like a giant stone hug around the heart of the city.

Now,these walls are no joke. They're made of thick stone blocks, and they're so tall that they make you feel like a tiny ant standing at their base. And the towers? Well, let's just say that they're not for the faint of heart! Climbing up to the top is a workout, but the views from up there are worth it. You'll be able to see the whole city spread out before you, like a little toy village.

So if you're in Lucerne, do yourself a favor and check out the Musegg Wall. Take a walk along its length, climb up to the top of a tower, and soak in the history and beauty of this ancient monument!

The accessible towers from west to east are: • the Männli tower, adorned with a figure of a soldier • the Wacht tower, • the Zyt tower with its clock dating from 1535 • and the Schirmer tower.

(no need to go all, one will do!)
