EDITORS COMMENTS
. Step into a time machine and journey back to 1365, where this magnificent architectural marvel was born. Meet Kapellbrucke, the iconic covered bridge that has gracefully spanned the Reuss River in Lucerne for centuries. Its weathered wooden planks hold secrets of history, culture, and resilience. But wait! In 1993 disaster struck as flames threatened to devour this ancient beauty. The world held its breath as firefighters battled against all odds to save Kapellbrucke from becoming a mere memory. Miraculously, it emerged victorious – charred but undefeated! Today, standing tall with pride and defiance, Kapellbrucke is a testament to human ingenuity and determination. It proudly showcases its scars like badges of honor while captivating visitors with its timeless charm. As you stroll across this footbridge suspended above the tranquil waters of Reuss River, let your imagination run wild. Picture medieval knights on horseback galloping through its arches or merchants bartering their wares under its protective roof. Kapellbrucke not only connects two sides of Lucerne but also bridges the gap between past and present. It invites us to reflect on our own ability to rise from adversity stronger than ever before. So snap a print of this legendary landmark by Danita Delimont because it's not just an image; it's a visual reminder that even when life throws fiery challenges our way, we can emerge unscathed – ready to conquer new horizons!
