Time for another drive through small towns in Switzerland. This time we visited Willisau, Sursee, Sempach, and Beromunster. All are less than 45 miles from our apartment and have that small town charm that we enjoy. Each town has their "old town" which usually consists of a church and surrounding buildings that are centuries old, a wall that surrounds the city, as well as the city gates. Of course they each have their own story to tell. For example, in Sempach a crucial battle between the Swiss and Austrian armies took place there in 1386. The St. Jacob chapel perched on a hill nearby the center commemorates the event. A short trip for us today, but we enjoyed the opportunity to see more of middle Switzerland. See the pictures: Willisau, Sursee, Sempach, and Beromunster.
