The Wall....and the Bell

What seems to be a lesser visited site in Luzern is the city wall. Tourists can climb the hill, pass the wooly mammoth cattle (the only cattle around not wearing bells) and the local running track, then walk along the wall and even scale the stairs up into three of the towers.

Brad and I climbed happily up the clock tower, but just when we reached the top and saw the bell only a few feet away I realized it was about to strike the hour. Luckily the clock tower didn't adhere to military time, or else we'd be deaf (it was 5PM).
