Description
Privilege
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.
MoreNice piece of engineering history
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.
MoreBuilt 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.

Nice place with some good water flow.
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.

A must visit place
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!
MoreVery interesting to see how they still manually used the "needles" pins to constrict the flow of the water..

Lugar bem bacana, no sábado estava tendo uma ferinha de usados bem bacana para achar itens de colecionadores. As pinturas, as estruturas antigas, os brasões interessantíssimos bem peculiar a cidade, antiga com toque moderno das lojas e restaurantes vale a visita.
MoreNice place to visit.
Awesome place to sit at a cafe or grab a coffee and rest after a long day and listen to the water rushing past.
MoreEnjoyed the scenery and the fast flowing water from the dam.
A good gurgling sight to see however some information in english on the mechanism of how the needle dam works would have been great.
MoreSome of the clearest waters you will ever see; this only happens in Switzerland.
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 "Spikes" are lowered into or withdrawn from the water manually to regulate the water level of Lake Lucerne.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.
MoreNice stroll along the river from Chapel bridge with great views of the city
Nice place to visit.lovely water flow and work of historic wood.
Wooden dam on the river.
Visited during winter, took a walk in this area and got fascinated.
nice view of other bridges from this spot
Just a nice way to see how water flow is controlled. Relaxing sound as you walk by the river.
