WORLD’S STEEPEST COGWHEEL RAILWAY For many people engineer Eduard Locher was crazy when he put forward the idea of building a railway up to Mount Pilatus in the 19th century. But the 4618 m long stretch of railway was opened in 1889 (steam operation until 1937) and with its 48 % gradient is still the steepest cogwheel railway in the world. This was achieved by the brilliantly innovative construction of two horizontally revolving cogwheels. GOLDEN ROUND TRIP From May to October experience the assorted delights of Lucerne’s landmark mountain courtesy of the Golden Round Trip – a half-day or whole-day excursion involving a boat trip, the cogwheel railway, the aerial cableway and panorama gondolas.

WALKING/HIKING Embark on a breathtaking voyage of discovery: put your best foot forward on trails offering everything from easy to alpine. MYTHS & LEGENDS From time immemorial, the rugged cliffs high above Lucerne have been shrouded in mysterious myths and legends. Peo- ple in the Middle Ages believed that a dragon with heal- ing powers and spirits inhabited the rocky crevices. It was also said that the ancient Lake Pilatus harbored the restless soul of none other than the Roman Prefect, Pontius Pilate – now at peace. That explains why ascents of the Pilatus were forbidden for a very long time. Cursed be they, it was thought, who disturb the Pilatus! FAUNA & FLORA The alpine ibex on Mount Pilatus are popular tourist attrac- tions. There have been ibexes on the Pilatus for more than 40 years. The waymarked flower trail between Pilatus Kulm and Tomlishorn takes you past upwards of 100 flowers, all labeled..

  • Horw-Kriens (Lucerne), Switzerland
    GF Piping Systems ELGEF Plus – Large dimensions Ecological energy from the lake Durable polyethylene piping system for CO-neutral energy recovery Horw-Kriens (Lucerne), Switzerland ELGEF Plus couplers and prefabricated T-pieces save valuable installation time and reduce costs. Problem-free, time-saving and sustainable. ewl (energy water lucerne) considers the reduction of fossil fuels as paramount for implementing Energy Strategy 2050. In a low-temperature thermal grid, natural lake energy is used as a sustainable heat carrier for heating and cooling approx. 7000 households. A polyethylene (PE) pipeline system and welded connections from GF Piping Systems came out on top for the material selection. Project background To meet the requirements of a sustainable energy policy, ewl is building a pipeline system for environmentally-friendly energy recovery from Lake Lucerne. Some of this natural lake energy is available to approx. 7000 households in Horw and Kriens as a heat source for heating or at a low temperature for cooling. This cuts CO emissions by approx. 10,000 tons per year. The main lines of the new pipeline system (with diameters of d400 mm to d560 mm) extend over a length of approx. 5 km. The limited space and the pipe routing through the heavily populated area created additional hurdles during construction. Problem-free and economical: Fixed point connections with ELGEF Plus couplers. Selected technical solution The comparison of materials confi rmed polyethylene (PE) to be most suitable pipe material. The subsidence-prone subsoil pre- sented a particular challenge, and this was overcome with ease with welded PE pipes. In addition, PE is exceptionally durable and reliable and the most economically sound choice.
