Reuss river hike from Lucerne to Emmenbrücke
This adventurous river hike starts near the Chapel bridge.
It follows, always on the left side of the
Reuss river, to the "needle" dam where the water
levels of the Vierwaldstättersee lake are regulated. Just a little ways beyond here, follow the narrow
path next to the Historical Museum towards the
Mill bridge (built in 1408 with series of paintings
done by Caspar Meglinger).
Start: Lucerne

Continue to follow the water, partly on the sidewalk, to the Reuss Island with its small shops and offices. From here a longer section of the trail will follow right next to the river. Near the railroad track climb up some steps and cross over the Kleine Emme river at the same height as the bridge. This is where on the other side of the Emme you can take the Planet hike to Perlen. You may also take bus no. 2 from Emmenbrücke back to Luzern. Those who continue on to Perlen can catch bus no. 22 back to Luzern. Walking time: Luzern to Emmenbrücke 1 h 30 min, whole route to
Perlen 3 hours. Eat out of your backpack or at one
of the restaurants near the hiking trail.
