Around Lucerne's old town
Point 2 of 9 – Free Walking Tour
Kapellplatz
LocalGuide from Lucerne, Silvan
The Fritschi Fountain. With the masks of the Fritschi family.
Some dates
- Design from Lucerne. The clothes of Blue Lemon, are designed by Silvan's neighbor, Diana, and the store is run by her team. Erich – her partner, comes from the Calida family. A look inside is worth it.
- To the Fritschibrunnen. This is where the Lucerne carnival begins every year on «Schmutzigen Donnerstag» (dirty Thursday), at 5 o'clock in the morning.
- It gets loud at the start of the carnival. At the «Urknall» (big bang), thousands of paper scraps rain down on the carnival-goers.
- This is followed by the Orange Battle. Here from the Fritschibrunnen.
- On the fountain one discovers the masks of the brother Fritschi.
Right after the big bang. The Fritschi family on the Fritschi fountain.
Tip
If you ever visit the carnival yourself - make sure you go dressed up. Somehow.
