    Steamboat “Schiller” (Lucerne, Switzerland)

    The “Schiller” is one of five historic steamboats crossing Lake Lucerne. With their idyllic backdrop of the Swiss mountains, numerous films were shot here, among them Régis Wargnier’s INDOCHINE (1992) with Catherine Deneuve, Donatello and Fosco Dubini’s LUDWIG 1881 (1993) with Helmut Berger and, more recently, Alice Rohrwacher’s LA CHIMERA (2023) with Josh O’Connor.
