Lausanne Cathedral of Notre-Dame It was not until 1275 that the cathedral was consecrated by Emperor Rudolf of Habsburg and Pope Gregory X. After that, Jean Cotereel, the third master builder, took over the construction site and erected the western part, which he equipped with a portal porch and two towers, one of which carries the bells. The other tower was not completed. The very original painted portal was added to the south facade around 1225-1235. It was not until 1275 that the cathedral was consecrated by Emperor Rudolf of Habsburg and Pope Gregory X. In 1536, the cathedral was greatly altered during the Reformation when a new space for worship was created in the nave. It was then repeatedly restored in the 18th and 19th centuries, notably under the direction of the famous French architect Eugène-Emmanuel Viollet-le-Duc. The interior of the cathedral is characterised by its extraordinary colourfulness. This decoration, which dates back to the original building, was covered over during the Reformation, but was brought back to light at the beginning of the 20th century: In the Chapel of Mary and on the statues of the painted portal, unique in Europe, whose complete restoration was completed in October 2007, the paintings are still recognisable. The rosette is one of the masterpieces of European church art: its panes illustrate the medieval worldview in which God as creator was at the centre.

I recommend the high pass and a stop in Granvaux. The route is through the vineyards, with exceptional views and respect for the farm workers. Little traffic, some steep climbs, but we arrive with enthusiasm. In Granvaux, a "Corto Maltaise" village, take the time to go to the restaurant terraces and enjoy an ice cream: with the view, it has a different flavor!

From the church tower you have a wonderful view that you should not miss

Hello, I am surprised by the name used for your route called weinroute. This is located in the heart of Lavaux. Wine region of the canton of Vaud in French-speaking Switzerland. We speak french. So why not title the route vineyard route as in the photo. I don't think the routes in Bordeaux have names in German!

Bourg-en-Lavaux is a municipality in the canton of Vaud, Switzerland. It is located in the Lavaux-Oron district and is part of the beautiful Lavaux area, inscribed on the UNESCO World Heritage List in 2007. The municipality was created in 2011 after the merger of the former municipalities of Cully, Grandvaux, Riex, Aran-Villette and Epesses. Here is a view of the Route de la Corniche.

The Lavaux vineyard terraces are located on the shores of Lake Geneva in Switzerland. They were built by monks in the 12th century and cover approximately 800 hectares. The terraces are built on steep slopes and are supported by stone walls that provide protection against erosion. The area is known for its beautiful views over Lake Geneva and the Alps, and for the production of quality wines, mainly white wine made from the Chasselas grape. The Lavaux Vineyard Terraces are also included in the UNESCO World Heritage List for their cultural and landscape value. The terraces are still worked by local winegrowers and the tradition of winemaking has been continued here for centuries. Visitors can explore the Lavaux vineyard terraces via hiking trails and enjoy wine tastings at local wineries. The area attracts many tourists every year who come to enjoy the beautiful surroundings and the delicious wines.
