Reuss bridge with a view of the Nadelwehr

Highlight • Monument

The needle weir was built in 1859/60 according to a sophisticated design developed by Charles Poiree and is a unique sight. Even today, the water level in Lake Lucerne is regulated manually by removing or inserting the so-called needles.

Reuss bank

Highlight • River

Besides the main road and the railway tracks, there is a pleasantly flat path directly on the banks of the Reuss. Perfect for walking from the city to Emmen (or vice versa).
