Lake Lucerne is a lake located in Germany, Lake Lucerne (German: Vierwaldstöttersee, or "Lake of the Four Forest Cantons") is located in central Switzerland and is the fourth largest lake in Switzerland and the largest lake entirely in Switzerland.
The Lucerne Lake region can be called the birthplace of the Swiss Confederation.
Wihelm Tell, one of Switzerland's historical heroes, was born on the shores of the beautiful lakes of the four cantons. The shoreline of the lake meanders and sprouts branches that connect the city of Lucerne with the surrounding peaks.
The lake covers an area of 114 square kilometers, the longest is 39 kilometers, the widest point is 3 kilometers, the elevation is 434 meters, and the deepest point is 214 meters. The total volume is 11.8 cubic kilometers. Many of the shorelines of the lake are crags and peaks rising up to 1,500 meters above sea level, resulting in many beautiful landscapes, including Mt. Rigi and Mt. Pilatus.
The Reuss River flows into the lake at Flüelen (part of the lake is also known as the Urnersee) and then flows out of Luzern.
In addition, three rivers flow into Lake Lucerne, the Muota River at Brunnen, the Engelberger Aa River at Buochs, and the Sarner As River at Alpnachstad. There is a road around the lake, although the road is winding and slow, and part of the road is in the tunnel.
Steam ships and passenger ships sail between towns along the shores of Lake Lucerne.
Lake Lucerne is a popular tourist destination for both locals and foreign tourists, and there are many hotels and resorts on its shores. In addition, the Rütli meadows, located on the southeastern shore of Lake Lucerne, were the site of an alliance between the Swiss Confederation in 1287.
A commemorative hiking trail on the shores of Lake Lucerne to commemorate the 700th anniversary of Switzerland's founding.
It is 30 kilometres long from the Lütli meadows, known as the birthplace of Switzerland, to Brunnen on the other side.
The length of the route in each state is set according to the size of the population of each state, according to the ratio of 5 mm per inhabitant. Starting with the first four cantons of the Swiss Confederation, led by the canton of Uri, and ending with the canton of Jura in 1979, a total of 26 cantons were set in the order in which they joined the Swiss Confederation.
Lake Lucerne straddles four ancient Swiss cantons: Uri, Schwyz (from which the Swiss German name Schweiz derives, from which the Schwyz Charter Museum is built), Unterwalden (now divided into Obwalden and Nidwalden) and Lucerne, which is also the German name for Lake Lucerne. The origin of Ttersee, which literally means "Lake of the Four Forest States".
There are many old Swiss communities along the shores of the lake, including Küssnacht, Weggis, Vitznau, Gersau, Brunnen, Altdorf, Buochs, and Treib.
The area around Weggis and Vitznau, known as the "Riviera" of Lake Lucerne, has a mild climate and is an officially certified spa.
There are Park Hotel Weggis, Park Hotel Vitznau, Hotel Vitznauerhof and other luxury five-star spa hotels.
At the end of the 13th century, the four forests were ruled by the Austrians under the rule of the Habsburgs, and after a bitter struggle, Wilhelm Tyre led the people to drive out the Habsburg rulers and destroy the enemy's lair, completely overthrowing the rule of the invaders.
His heroic story has been passed down from generation to generation in Switzerland, inspiring the nation's struggle for independence and freedom, and artists have created many literary works based on this story, such as the German playwright Schiller's last play, Wilhelm Diehl.
The work depicts the 13th century, when the Austrian governor of Switzerland oppressed the people wantonly, erecting a long pole in the downtown area, with a hat on top of the rod, and ordering pedestrians to bow to the hat.
One day, William Trell was laid out for not bowing. The governor ordered an apple to be placed on the head of the youngest son of Treil, and ordered Treel to shoot him with an arrow, so that he could be spared. Retreat shoots the apple. But the governor still arrested Dyer. On the way to escort, they boarded a boat and passed through Lake Lucerne, the wind and waves were fierce, and the soldiers were in danger, so they retreated and waited for the opportunity to shoot the governor with an arrow and escaped from the tiger's mouth.
The people embraced it, rebelled against Austrian rule, and finally gained freedom.
There is also an opera about Wilhelm Diere composed by the Italian composer Rossini, among which the "Wilhelm Tretre Overture" has become popular and circulated all over the world.
Beethoven's Moonlight is said to have been inspired by the poet Raelstab: the first movement reminds us of "a boat bobbing on a moonlit lake in Lucerne, Switzerland."
Until at least 1230, when the Gotthard Pass was opened, Lake Lucerne was an important part of Swiss transport for centuries. After the opening of the Postbus route in 1830 to connect the Gotthard Pass, trade increased.
The northern terminus of the road is at the easternmost point of Lake Lucerne, making it the only effective transport artery connecting the city of Lucerne with the cities of northern Switzerland and the further north.
With the boom in Swiss roads and rail transport, shipping traffic on the lake is gradually decreasing, but there are still a large number of private and public boats sailing on the lake. Many of these voyages are for tourism and leisure, but these routes are still the most efficient way to transport people and goods to small communities along the lake.
The Lake Lucerne Shipping Company has the largest fleet of ships on Switzerland's inland lakes, including five antique class steam paddle steamers. SGV serves 32 stations on the shores of Lake Lucerne and is connected to the transport network on land, as well as numerous cable cars and railways.
Famous sightseeing routes on the lake include the Lunch Boat between Lucerne - Weggis - Vitzanu, the Wihelm Tell Express and the Pilatus Golden Round Trip.
The scenic train "Golden Pass Line" and the "Lucerne - Engelberg Express" also pass along the shores of Lake Lucerne.
The one-hour tour of the mouth of Lake Lucerne is popular. Departing from the docks in the city of Lucerne and leaving the port, visitors can enjoy panoramic views of the Old Town, Lucerne's landmarks – the Chapel Bridge and the Octagonal Water Tower across the Reuss River, the 9 bell towers and the church spire on the ramparts, and the white Gutsch Castle on the hillside behind the Chapel Bridge is often referred to as Neuschwanstein Castle in Switzerland.
The boat heads in the direction of the many snow-capped peaks of the Alps, passing the Wagner House and the New Town along the shores of the lake. Then you will see the Stutz Villa and the villa of the Belgian royal family.
Afterwards, the boat heads to the middle of the lake, passing by the peninsula-shaped Buergenstock, an upscale resort on the shores of Lake Lucerne, where the famous Hollywood actress Audrey Hepburn held her wedding in a chapel. Continuing across the lake, the boat docks and passes by Meggenhorn Castle, which is surrounded by celebrity villas.
As you pass by Meggenhorn, you'll see the 21-foot-tall statue of Jesus on the lakefront. Then the "Riviera" resort of Lucerne, the Hermitage, the Park Hotel Weggis, the Seeburg Hotel pass by and return to Lucerne.
