Light of the Lake

Light of the Lake

A light from the heart of Lake Lucerne symbolizes peace and warmth, as the city welcomes it amid landscapes, togetherness, and delight. The flame of the lake rises… and will shine forever.

A light shines from the heart of Lake Lucerne, a symbol of peace and serenity. Lucerne welcomes these first rays amid breathtaking landscapes, moments of togetherness, and culinary delights. Through poetry and bold graphics, I tell the story of warmth, connection, and the city’s positive energy. The flame of the lake rises… and will rise forever.
