Needle dam in the Reuss River
The River 'Reuss' is one of the largest rivers in Switzerland. The Reuss, the Aar, and the Limmat come together near Brugg at the "Watercastle of Europe". After the confluence the river continues as the Aar, which flows into the Rhine, which runs through Germany into the North Sea.
Rising in the Gotthard massif, the Reuss runs from the Urserental to the Aare. It runs through Lake Lucerne (German ''Vierwaldstaettersee''), where a pioneering needle dam (just upstream from the Spreuerbrücke) maintains the water level. The Reuss continues through the Schöllenen Gorge and under the legendary Devil's Bridge at St. Gotthard Pass before joining the Aare near Windisch.
Near Bremgarten, the river is dammed forming Flachsee.
