NORDPOL Riverside Café & Swimming Spot

Highlight • Cafe

Good place for drinks and food. Right on the Reuss, so also suitable for a refreshing swim.

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).

View of the Reuss River and Chapel Bridge

Highlight • Viewpoint

Lucerne is one of the most beautiful cities in Switzerland. From the banks of the Reuss you will quickly realize why - from here you simply have a great view of almost all of the city's landmarks: the water tower, the chapel bridge and the Musegg wall.

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.

Rathausen Bridge

Highlight • River

When running back and forth along rivers, you always have to ask yourself which bridge to choose to get to the other bank and thus on the way back. Here is one possibility, with a beautiful view of the river as so often.
