Region Luzerne West - Canton of Lucerne
The region Luzerne West is a rural area with different valleys around a big hillside called “Napf”. It is consisted of several small villages which face demographic challenges, as well as challenges in terms of mobility and use of empty stores in the village centers. Napfbergland is a beautiful, truistical area. During weekends people from nearby cities come to the area to enjoy the nature and beauty of the Napf. But they usually they get there by car which leads to roads blockages, noise pollution, and many visitors.
