Me and Sabine in front of the Swiss Alps at the top of Mount Pilatus.
Mount Pilatus rises high over the shores of Lake Lucerne, only a short bus ride away from the centre of Lucerne itself.
The mountain rose to prominence in the 19th century, when Wagner – a famous resident of Lucerne – hailed its vistas and Queen Victoria visited its summit on horseback.
The peak rises 2,132m (7,000ft) high and popular legend has it that it was named after Pontius Pilate, whose corpse was thrown into a lake at its summit and whose ghost haunted the mountain ever since. However, it is more likely named for the Latin word ‘pileatus’, meaning cloud-covered, given the weather conditions which often surround it.
While Queen Victoria rode her horse to the summit, it is now possible to take either a cable car or a funicular train to reach the top – the latter is dependent on the season, as snow covers the tracks during winter.
At the summit, there is a visitor centre, hotels and restaurants, as well as various footpaths which lead you to viewpoints over Lake Lucerne on one side and the Swiss Alps in the distance on the other.

The photo shows the turquoise river in Theth National Park, surrounded by the impressive Albanian Alps – also known as the "Accursed Mountains." This wild landscape lies in northern Albania and is a paradise for hikers, nature lovers, and photographers.
Crystal-clear water, rugged cliffs, and lush green slopes make Theth one of the most beautiful valleys in the Balkans – remote, untamed, and simply magical.

Summer was brief, cool and wet and the alpine pastures already turn their fall colours on. It is a sight not to be missed. On this spot, Blueberries intermingle with Lingonberries, Common Heather and some grasses to form this bouquet.
