You're standing at the Kapellbrücke, Lucerne's famous wooden bridge. Look how it crosses the river Reuss at an angle, with a wooden roof on top. It's one of Switzerland's main tourist attractions and the symbol of the city. The name comes from St. Peter's Chapel, close to the bridge on the left bank.
