The informal setting with delicious coffee specialities and homemade patisserie attracts many locals to the café. In summer, you can enjoy a delicious ice cream in the neighbouring "Gelateria dell'Alpi", one of the best ice cream parlours in the city.
The Ristorante is designed in the style of a cozy Trattoria and conveys a familial hospitality that is uniquely characteristic of bella Italia. The styling is Italian; lots of wood, bright and open, modern yet slightly retro. The music that plays sets a cheerful mood! And the food? It's like a mini-vacation for your taste buds.
Indulge in delicious traditional Roman specialties: antipasti, homemade pasta and oven-fresh Pinsa. Upon request, meals can also be served in the style of a Tavolata Italiana, with large plates and pots placed in the center of the table.Coffee Card Lucerne

You can tailor your paella to your individual taste by choosing the basis, main ingredients and special extras. And to accompany it, a good Spanish wine from the modern wine lounge. After the hearty Spanish meal, how about a digestif in the form of a gin, of which there are many? As we say: a vuestra salud!
The love of beer is our focus. A total of twelve taps and over 60 beer bottles - with changing beer varieties from independent Swiss breweries - offer the opportunity to discover a wide variety of Swiss beers. There are also fine gourmet burgers and other dishes lovingly prepared from regional ingredients. All this in a relaxed atmosphere in a fantastic location directly on the River Reuss with a view of the Chapel Bridge and Mount Pilatus.
We spoil you with exquisite French cuisine, select wines, fair prices, and friendly, competent, and uncomplicated service. Our diverse offerings offer something for every taste. Comfort food instead of convenience: We serve carefully prepared, freshly cooked dishes with regional produce for lunch and dinner. Everything is prepared by hand with love: classic culinary craftsmanship – completely free of chemicals and processed foods.
Enjoyment by the lake
Right on the shores of Lake Lucerne, Café César invites you to enjoy relaxing moments of pleasure. From freshly baked croissants in the morning to delicious cakes in the afternoon, Lucerne locals and hotel guests come together here to start the day with a treat or take a short break.The north route runs through the northern foothills of Chemnitz – from Ebersdorf to Rabenstein. Between Sechsruthenwald, Glösa, and Röhrsdorf, the scenery changes: patches of forest, fields, outskirts of towns. At the rest area of the Chemnitz Valley Cycle Path, you can take a short break. Nearby excursion tip at the end of the route: Rabenstein Castle, Saxony's smallest medieval castle.
Connection:
The north route connects the southwest route and the southeast route.
Der Radweg verläuft von Rabenstein über Rottluff weiter bis Altendorf und dort durch den Stadtteilpark am Pleißenbach. Gut ausgebaut und angenehm zu befahren, führt er über die im Oktober 2025 eröffnete markante Fahrradbrücke über die Kalkstraße.
Das letzte Teilstück von Rottluff bis zum Küchwald ist noch im Ausbau.
Die Ringroute umrundet Chemnitz auf abwechslungsreichen Wegen. Im Norden verläuft sie durch den Küchwaldpark, passiert später den Zeisigwald in Hilbersdorf, quert den Stadtpark und führt über Chemnitz-Rottluff wieder Richtung Norden vorbei am Klinikum Chemnitz. Dabei entsteht eine urbane Runde, die Stadt und Strecke elegant miteinander verknüpft.
As part of the European Capital of Culture Chemnitz 2025, the "Kulturpfad Höhenweg" was officially opened in September 2024. The hiking trail extends over approximately 18 kilometers and connects the southern Chemnitz districts of Adelsberg, Reichenhain, Erfenschlag, and Harthau. It is not only the largest in terms of area of the city's 30 intervention spaces but also a central component of the Capital of Culture program.
Along the Höhenweg, 29 stations have been set up, which thematically form a chain as "pearls." These stations pick up interesting facts from the surroundings and offer well-founded insights into the region through accompanying information boards.
The Höhenweg runs above the valley areas and opens impressive views of the city of Chemnitz as well as the Ore Mountains foothills. Weather mushrooms have been installed at four prominent points – one per district – serving as weather protection and inviting breaks.
The Kulturpfad Höhenweg 2025 is designed as a publicly accessible hiking trail. As part of the "C the Unseen" initiative of the Chemnitz 2025 Capital of Culture, it helps make less known urban areas visible and brings their potential into focus.
