English: Passenger ship MS "Europa" on Lake Lucerne.
Lake Lucerne (German: Vierwaldstättersee, lit. "Lake of the Four Forest Cantons") is a lake in central Switzerland, the fourth largest in the country. The lake has a complicated shape, with bends and arms reaching from the city of Lucerne into the mountains. Much of the shoreline rises steeply into mountains up to 1,500 m above the lake, resulting in many picturesque views including those of Mount Rigi and Mount Pilatus. Dozens of steamers ply between the different towns on the lake.Nederlands: Veerboot op het Vierwoudstedenmeer.
Het Vierwoudstedenmeer (Duits:Vierwaldstättersee, Frans: Lac des Quatre Cantons, Italiaans: Lago di Lucerna, Reto-Romaans: Lag Lucerna) ligt in Centraal-Zwitserland en is omgeven door hoge bergen. De vorm van het meer lijkt op een fjord. Het meer ligt op 434 meter hoogte.Het Vierwoudstrekenmeer wordt door de rivier de Reuss doorstroomd. Tevens wordt het gevoed met berg- en gletsjerwater van het omliggende gebied. Het grenst aan de vier vroegere kantons Uri, Schwyz, Unterwalden en Luzern.Deutsch: Motorschiff "Europa" auf dem Vierwaldstättersee.
Der Vierwaldstättersee (franz. Lac des Quatre Cantons, it. Lago dei Quattro Cantoni/Lago di Lucerna, romanisch Lag Lucerna) ist ein von Bergen umgebener See in der Zentralschweiz. Seinen Namen hat der Vierwaldstättersee von den vier hier angrenzenden Waldstätten: den Kantonen Uri, Unterwalden, Schwyz und Luzern. Auf dem See verkehren die Schiffe der Schifffahrtsgesellschaft des Vierwaldstättersees zu den Schiffstationen. |
