Lake Rot

You can discover the Rotsee on a walk or run around the lake. You can shorten the excursion with a ferry trip.

Or you can refresh yourself with a dip in the lake at the Rotsee-Badi. Swimming is only permitted here. The playground at the rowing center is popular with children because of its long slide.

The Seehüsli restaurant near the influence of the Ron is open all year round. The Badi-Restaurant is open from May to the end of October.

The lake is a natural arena and a unique recreational area for the people of Lucerne. The Rotsee is located two kilometers north of Lake Lucerne in the Maihof district. It belongs to Lucerne and Ebikon. The lake and its shores are a nature reserve. Many bird species use the protected location to breed or spend the winter. Here you can discover rare and endangered plants.

From Palm Sunday to the end of October, you can take the "Libelle" ferry across the lake. This ferry service has been in operation for more than 600 years. The ferry service remains closed in bad weather and during the rowing regatta.

Do you like fishing? You can buy a daily or monthly fishing permit from the Rotsee warden. The season lasts from mid-June to mid-September. Find out more about fishing in the Rotsee here.
