LUCERNE & GRIMSEL<br />

POWER PLANT<br />

After going to the biosphere, we arrived<br />

in Lucerne for the weekend. In Lucerne,<br />

the views were beautiful from the<br />

lakeshore to the top of Mt. Pilatus. I<br />

walked around the canal and lakeshore. I<br />

traveled up Pilatus in a gondola and did<br />

a ropes course with everyone. On the<br />

way back, I appreciated views from the<br />

Mt Pilatus’ cogwheel car and from the<br />

cruise on Lake Lucerne.<br />

At Grimsel power plant, we saw how a<br />

complex system of run-of-the-river dams<br />

powered the whole valley by using the<br />

glacial runoff and the river in the valley<br />

while preserving its natural beauty.
