In the Air (No. 2)
Lake Lucerne (German: Vierwaldstättersee, literally "Lake of the four forested settlements" (in English usually translated as forest cantons), French: lac des Quatre-Cantons, Italian: lago dei Quattro Cantoni) is a lake in central Switzerland and the fourth largest in the country.
The name of Vierwaldstättersee is first used in the 16th century. Before the 16th century, the entire lake was known as Luzerner See "Lake Lucerne", as remains the English (and partly Italian, as Lago di Lucerna) usage. The (three) "Waldstätte(n)" (lit.: "forested sites/settlements", in English usually translated as forest cantons) since the 14th century were the confederate allies of Uri, Schwyz and Unterwalden. The notion of "Four Waldstätten" (Vier Waldstätten), with the addition of the canton of Lucerne, is first recorded in the 1450s, in an addition to the "Silver Book" of Egloff Etterlin of Lucerne.
The lake has a complicated shape, with several sharp bends and four arms. It starts in the south–north bound Reuss Valley between steep cliffs above the Urnersee from Flüelen towards Brunnen to the north before it makes a sharp bend to the west where it continues into the Gersauer Becken. Here is also the deepest point of the lake with 214 m (702 ft). Even further west of it is the Buochser Bucht, but the lake sharply turns north again through the narrow opening between the Unter Nas (lower nose) of the Bürgenstock to the west and the Ober Nas (upper nose) of the Rigi to the east to reach the Vitznauer Bucht. In front of Vitznau below the Rigi the lake turns sharply west again to reach the center of a four-arm cross, called the Chrütztrichter (Cross Funnel). Here converge the Vitznauer Bucht with the Küssnachtersee from the north, the Luzernersee from the west, and the Horwer Bucht and the Stanser Trichter to the south, which is to be found right below the northeast side of the Pilatus and the west side of the Bürgenstock. At the very narrow pass between the east dropper of the Pilatus (called Lopper) and Stansstad the lake reaches its southwestern arm at Alpnachstad on the steep southern foothills of the Pilatus, the Alpnachersee. The lake drains its water into the Reuss in Lucerne from its arm called Luzernersee (which literally translates as Lake of Lucerne).
The entire lake has a total area of 114 km² (44 sq mi) at an elevation of 434 m (1,424 ft) a.s.l., and a maximum depth of 214 m (702 ft). Its volume is 11.8 km³. Much of the shoreline rises steeply into mountains up to 1,500 m above the lake, resulting in many picturesque views including those of the mountains Rigi and Pilatus.
The Reuss enters the lake at Flüelen, in the part called Urnersee (Lake of Uri, in the canton of Uri) and exits at Lucerne. The lake also receives the Muota at Brunnen, the Engelberger Aa at Buochs, and the Sarner Aa at Alpnachstad.

Meteorit
Bekannt ist, dass Pfahlbauer spitze Steine als Pfeilspitzen verwendeten. Nicht bekannt war bisher, dass eine in Mörigen am Bielersee gefundene Pfeilspitze aus einem Meteoriten (Foto BHM) gefertigt worden war. Der Fund und die anschliessende Analyse kommen einer archäologischen Sensation gleich.
Mehr dazu hier.

Tag 39: Von Val-de-Travers nach Berken
Donnerstag, 1. Juni 2023
Ein herrlicher Sommertag erwarte uns.
Vom Campingplatz fahren wir zuerst durch das Hochtal und dann durch den Wald steil hinunter aus dem Jura zum Lac du Neuchatel.
Vorbei die Zeit im abgelegenen Jura. Mondäne Villen und viel Verkehr erwarten uns.
Die Städtchen Boudry und Le Landeron kurz vor dem Bielersee gefallen uns.
Auf der westlichen Uferseite laufen Autobshn, Nationalstrasse, Radweg und Eisenbahn parallel. Weinberge ziehen sich den Hang hinauf.
Unterwegs fahren wir an den Firmen bekannter Uhrenmarken vorbei.
Um 19 Uhr und nach 100 km entscheiden wir uns gegen die Weiterfahrt zum nächsten Campingplatz und für ein Abendessen in einem Gasthof.
Service und Qualität der Speisen und Getränke sind sehr gut, die Rechnung entsprechend dem schweizer Niveau.
An der Aare finden wir einen schönen Zeltplatz und wir nehmen noch eine Körperwäsche in der kalten Aare. Weil das Wetter so schön ist, verzichten wir auf das Überzelt.

course ship MS Solothurn on the lake biel owned by BSG by drone in 4k Switzerland
The MS Stadt Solothurn - Small and handy as a riverboat should be. Even after 49 years still faithful and brave in the service of the BSG (Bielersee-Schifffahrts-Gesellschaft). With her 40m length, a width of 7.65m and a weight of 112t she plows through the Nidau-Büren canal on her way to Solothurn and back in all weathers. She has room for 300 people. We also took this footage as part of Swiss Sailing's 3-day Women's Cup on Lake Biel. Thank you for watching my video. I would be happy about a comment or like.

24.10.21 Bielersee - Endlich habe ich es geschafft, Fotos von einem meiner liebsten Hobbies zu machen. Das Rudern begleitet mich nun schon seit 8 Jahren und ist mit dem Seeclub Biel ein fester Bestandteil meines Lebens. Nadine muss immer wieder Rudergschichten über wilden Wellen, Nebel über dem See und Gossip aus den Training anhören. Und natürlich wie schnell ihr fabulöses Gschpusi auf dem See ist 💪🏼
