Built in 1859/1860 following the clever style developed by Poiree, the Needle Dam is a unique attraction in terms of both technology and history. From 2009-2011 the facility was renovated and the city’s flood protection was improved. Even today, the level of Lake Lucerne is regulated by hand through the removal and placement of the co-called needles (wooden posts).*

Beautiful and interesting
It is, my photos don’t do it justice.

This looks great and it does make sens. Very interesting, I have never been to Luzern, it sounds like a wonderful place.
I think you would love Lucerne, there are so many photo opportunities in such a small footprint.
What fine waterways they have here, Cherie
Very fine indeed
