Le pont ambiance Harry Potter vaut le coup dœil. La grande roue genre celle de Londre est à couper le souffle. Il est assez agréable de suivre le cours deau. Nous avons déjeuner sur un banc en mangeant un hôtel dog moutarde, coca, bretzel salé face au Lac. La ville est belle vaut le détour.

An interesting historical artefact that is used to control the levels of the river and the lake, with an information board that explains the story of this dam. If youre walking along the river, this dam should be included in your itinerary.

Built between 1859 and 1861, the weir is a historical monument and marvel of 19th century engineering. The dam is built by the spikes of wood and controls the Reuss River water to the Lake since 1800’s.

A place of historical significance, surrounded by trendy restaurants, bars, stores and souvenir shops. One could sit on the benches and enjoy a great view of the needle dam.

Sehr interessantes, außergewöhnliches Wasserbauwerk. Diese Idee ist ziemlich fantastisch, aber funktioniert einwandfrei. Es ist nicht alle interessant, aber es hat meine Erwartungen übertroffen. Sehr seltene Konstruktion. Von mir sofort fünf starke Sternen ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐, auf jeden Fall sehenswert.

Diga particolare nel centro storico della stupenda città di Luzern, per controllare a mano, lafflusso delle acque del fiume Reuss. Impressionante la forza de lacqua che si vede cosi vicino.Da vedere!

Very interesting to see how they still manually used the "needles" pins to constrict the flow of the water..

A good gurgling sight to see however some information in english on the mechanism of how the needle dam works would have been great.

Very unique sight. "Spikes" are lowered into or withdrawn from the water manually to regulate the water level of Lake Lucerne. Eye-catching view! In the town center, do combine with the walk down the river from or to Kapellbrucke.

Just a nice way to see how water flow is controlled. Relaxing sound as you walk by the river.
