A nice and easy climb up Mount Pilatus will bring you to Fräkmüntegg, 700 metres under the summit with great views and activities.
I was walking fast, and since the weather was pretty warm, I soon was dripping with sweat as I climbed the path up Mount Pilatus. Actually, the mountain used to be called Fräkmünt, but was named after the Latin "pileatus" or "covered with clouds", although legend has it that it was called after Pontius Pilatus who is said to have been buried close by. The legend might be true, but it is obvious that this mountain which is much higher than the surroundings, attracts a lot of clouds, and I could see them looming around the summit. I had some good views of Lucerne and surrouding area and still felt the sun burning on my head as I walked past Krienseregg, from where I continued to Fräkmüntegg.
