Kriens - (Schauensee castle)

Southwest of Lucerne is the industrial suburb of Kriens (alt. 482 m/1,581ft), with the little castle of Schauensee (1595, with a 13th C. round tower).

From here there is a funicular up the Sonnenberg (780 m/2,559ft), which affords superb views. Here too is the lower station of a cableway up Mt Pilatus.
