A wolf has been sighted in Kriens! Last night a shepherd was able to make a video of the animal as it ambled down a road. Last November a wolf had been sighted around Hergiswald, the assumption is that it is the same wolf known as M131. The canton is asking that people be careful and keep their animals on leashes when walking in the forest and at night in safe enclosures wherever possible.
It is a known fact that Lucerne would rather people did not use cars and switched to public transport or bikes instead. Which is why it comes as no surprise that in a national study on the cost of monthly parking passes issued by cities, Lucerne is the second most expensive city in the country. It charges CHF 600.- per month for a parking pass, whereas Zurich charges CHF 300.- and Geneva CHF 200.-; only Winterthur charges more at CHF 710.- Should people agree to the motion to up the prices on June 13., Lucerne would then become the most expensive city charging CHF 800.- per month.

Google assures that all faces and number plates are blurred so as not to be recognisable.
