Unexpected art surprises on the hill

in #art5 years ago

On just an average day with nothing special inside there, you still can find some unexpected gems right outside your door. The hillside of chateaux Gütsch is one of these places.

Let me give you some background on chateaux Gütsch. This is one of Switzerlands finest and exquisit hotels and an icon for the city of Lucerne. Laying on the hillside of the riverbank you can see it from almost everywhere in the city. Everything at chateaux Gütsch is not really in normals people budget. The cheapest room booked 7 years ahead goes for a 131 Euros, but reality is that you will pay somewhere between 400-600 a night. When crypto moons... Karin, don't worry

So what the hell was I doing there?


Well, I am in this regime trying to get my legs 'winter ready' for the skiing season which is going to start already for me in two weeks. That means getting back on the bike (which is almost undoable with the amount of rain that fell here this week) so alternatives are looked for. Yoga did the muscles a lot of muscles good but I also needed some cardio. Running isn't my favorite sport because I don't see enough challenge it. BUT, running up a hill that is a different ballgame!


The fancy people visiting chateaux Gütsch take the cable car up to here, but I ran up the stairs, finding a pleasant surprise on the hill


An artshow!

Huh, what the hell is this doing here? Apparently it is like a trial to see if people like it. Honestly, I loved the randomness of these figures placed in this little park next to the chateaux, but it totally does not go hand in hand with the snobby-fancy chateaux. Ow well, that isn't a bad thing necessarily!


Could it be that there figures are symbolizing how to recatch you breath once you ran up there? Or is this a terrible situation with the kids standing with their hands up against the wall and one and the ground because of...??? I don't know

Any way, it was also just a beautiful place to just lime for a bit, before continueing my run. There is also a forest behind this, next time I will surely check this out here. As you see it was cloudy, grey and typical Swiss city weather I would say with mount Rigi half in the clouds, and an above view from the infamous Kapelbrücke this is really a place I should come back to fast when the sky is clearer.

Ooo very cool! It's always nice to pop past some landmarks / murals / art-pieces when you're out taking care of your body! Nice work crushing the hill too! I really like the deer made of sticks! Thanks for sharing -- looking forward to more.

Hey this is a cool frontend! you guys just started with this??

(please do put up the skiing opt in there :DD)

The hill wasnt even as brutal as i had expected, which is a goof confirm on how my status currently is!

Thanks! It's fairly new -- I forget exactly when we made the site public. Probably a couple months ago now. Definitely still a work-in-progress, but it's coming along (slowly).

Updates come out every now and again, and I've got some fun plans for the future.

Looking forward to seeing you around!

Cheers!
