Solution

The correct option is D Lucerne
Lucerne,
Chapel Bridge is located in the heart of Lucerne and serves as a symbol of Switzerland’s medieval town. Also referred to as Kapellbrücke, the bridge is named after nearby St. Peter’s Chapel. The bridge is famed as an architectural masterpiece, because of its wood construction and iconic covered style. It is the oldest covered bridge in Europe, dating back to the 14th century.

Spanning 670 feet (204 meters), the bridge connects Old Town to New Town and allows only foot traffic. This makes it the perfect spot to leisurely admire its scenic setting and historic murals.

Chapel Bridge is located at the mouth of the Reuss River. Stand on one side of the bridge to look out over the river and turn to the other to admire Lake Lucerne. The vantage point is impressive from any angle: mountains tower behind the ancient city, their snow-capped peaks contrasting with the clear blue water of the lake. The scene is especially picturesque at sunset. Have your camera ready around dusk and find a spot along the railing before the bridge fills with other visitors.
