Studio with great views and patio

Lucerne at your feet, the Rigi opposite, the Pilatus just above, the hiking trail right behind the garden - that's how we live! We have a great view, but also about 70 steps to the studio. In addition, our studio is quietly located on the edge of Kriens. By public transport, it is a bit difficult to get to us or to the city.
