A little history

Four of them are open to visitors in summer: the Männliturm with its iron figure, Luegisland, the tallest at 52.6 metres, the Zytturm with the town's oldest clock, and the Schirmerturm.

In front of the wall the Musegg meadow stays open and green, so the towers still look out over Lucerne, the lake and the mountains.

The booklet opens with the full story: key dates, what to look for and where to find it.

Visiting the Museggmauer

Address
Museggmauer, Schirmertorweg, 6004 Luzern
Getting there
About fifteen minutes on foot from Lucerne station: cross the Reuss to the old town and walk up the lanes to the wall.
Insider tip
Climb the Zytturm a few minutes before the hour and wait for the clock to strike, a minute ahead of every other bell in town.
