The best thing about renting a car to go to Lucerne is got to drive around the lake and see other places like Altdorf. What an amazing little town nestled in the mountains and this is its signature monument and piece of history. Uri and Altdorf are so stereotypical Swiss, a small valley village surrounded by tall, snow capped mountains on a lake, that you miss the fact that it is the historical beginning of Switzerland and William Tell is the legend that explains it. Around 1300, 3 cantons with Uri being the central one wanted to overthrow Hapsburg rule and be independent. They joined forces on a lakeside meadow and the rest is factual history. The allegory story to explain this whole event is William Tell. At this point it is impossible to tell if he is real or simply legend but his story explains the birth of Switzerland and he is factually set in Altdorf the historical center of Switzerland and Uri. For me this why I felt compelled to come to understand the beginning of Switzerland. As for the monument, it is beautiful in the afternoon sun surround in the town square and the mountains. I truly believe if you come to Switzerland, you really need to visit this monument and the Tellskapelle.

The Salginatobel Bridge is a highlight of 20th century bridge architecture. As an outstanding engineering feat and modern work of art, it has an almost magical attraction to experts and artists alike since its completion in 1930. In 1991, the American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE) declared this exceptional bridge a "world monument". Today, around 30 structures form a small group of the most significant engineering creations, including well-known ones such as the Eiffel Tower in Paris, the Statue of Liberty in New York, or the Panama Canal, to name a few. Almost ten years later, after a worldwide survey, the renowned British trade journal "Bridge - design & engineering" voted the Salginatobel Bridge the most beautiful bridge of the century.
