Lake Lemmon and Lake Geneva are paradise for alpine skiing and outdoor sports all over the world. Beautiful Switzerland gives people a calm and pure feeling. I like Switzerland.
Lake Lemmon:
Among the 1498 lakes in Switzerland, Lake Lemmon is the largest. It is also the largest lake in western Europe, with an area of 582 square kilometers and a storage capacity of 89 billion cubic meters. Among them, the length of the line is 72.3km, and the circumference is167km. The northern shore of Switzerland (commonly known as the right bank) is 95 kilometers long, and the southern shore of France (commonly known as the left bank) is 72 kilometers long. The widest part of the lake is 14000m and the deepest part is 3 10m.
Lake Lemmon is a moraine lake. It is said that during the Quaternary Ice Age, the Rhone River, which originated in the Alps, was blocked by moraines in the Ek Lv Ze area, so it merged into a lake. At that time, the lake rose to a height of 425 meters. Later, the Rhone River had a new outlet, and the lake gradually declined. At present, Lake Lemmon is 372 meters above sea level.
At present, there are 4 1 rivers and 299 glaciers flowing into Lake Lemmon, the largest of which is the Rhone River, which flows in at the rate of 180 cubic meters per second from the easternmost part of the lake and then flows out of the lake in Geneva. Since the Rhone River originates from the Alps, water flows out of the mountains, with a rapid flow and a lot of sediment. It is estimated that it brings about 4 million tons of sediment into Lake Lemmon every year. So some people say that the Rhone River contributed to Lake Lemmon, but it is constantly filling it up.
The most striking thing about Lemmon Lake is a huge artificial fountain. The high water column went straight into the sky from the lake, which was very spectacular. This artificial fountain was originally built in 189 1, and the spraying height was only 90 meters. Self-reconstruction 1958. Its power is two groups of pumps installed underwater, with a total weight of 16 tons, driven by a 500 kW 2400V engine, and the rotation speed is 1500 rpm. The power of each pump is 1360 horsepower, the flow rate of the fountain is 500 liters per second, the water speed at the nozzle reaches 200 kilometers per hour, the pressure of the water entering the spray pipe is 16 atmospheric pressure, the height of the water column can reach 140 meters when there is no wind, and the amount of water staying in the air reaches as much as 7 tons. Water is sprayed from the nozzle to reach the peak and then return to the water surface, each round 16 seconds.
Lake Lemmon is beautiful. Since ancient times, many famous writers and poets have praised and praised it. Henry. James called it a "strange blue lake"; Byron compared it to a crystal mirror, "which contains nutrients and air needed for meditation"; Balzac described it as "synonymous with love". Nowadays, the beautiful villas and mansions built between the green trees on both sides of the harbor add a little beauty to Lemmon Lake.
Rhine falls:
Rhine falls on the Rhine River at the junction of Schaaffhausen and zurich state. The widest part of the waterfall is 150m, the maximum drop is 2 1m, and the water depth is 13m. The average flow in summer is 700 cubic meters per second. Rhine Waterfall is the largest waterfall in Europe.
Rhine Falls has a history of more than 10,000 years. There were no waterfalls 20,000 years ago, but the current scene was formed due to glacial activity and the diversion of the Rhine River.
Small town Interlaken:
Interlaken (meaning "between lakes") belongs to bern state, about 50 kilometers away from Bern, located between Lake Thun and Lake Brehon, with an altitude of only 56,470 meters, and is one of the famous Swiss scenic spots. Surrounded by mountains and lush green grass, it is vast and open. The famous Jungfrau in Switzerland is covered with snow all year round and reflected in the green lake. The distant mountains are close to the water, and the lake is beautiful, just like in the painting.
Interlaken has only 65,438+03,000 permanent residents, but every summer, tourists gather, restaurants are full and parking lots are very tight, so you must go there first to avoid detours. The busiest street in this city is called Hoch Street, where Victorian restaurants, restaurants and shops gather. Hoch Street, lined with trees, goes straight, with a total length of 1.5 km, which is also an ideal place for walking. There are horse-drawn carts on the street for tourists to ride, and it's really charming to sit in the car and watch the Jungfrau.
Lake Thun:
Interlaken is surrounded by Lake Thun to the west and Lake Brehon to the east. Both lakes are long and narrow, slightly inclined to the north, and together they are like a crescent moon broken from the middle. Among them, Lake Thun has a large area, but the water is not deep. Tourists can visit the lake by boat, or by car or train. Exquisite villages or high-lying hills or standing by the water decorate the charm of nature.
On the north bank of the lake, there is a road winding forward, sometimes passing through the foot of the mountain and sometimes extending to the lake. There are picturesque villages and quiet Woods on both sides. A medieval castle stands by the lake in Oberoifen village, which was renovated according to the style of that year. From the north shore, you can also see the Alps from the south through the sparkling lake waves, which is meaningless.
Thun City, with the same name as the lake, is an ancient city with pleasant scenery, located at the northwest end of Thun Lake. /kloc-at the end of 0/2, there was a castle in the city, which was built by a family of Duke Zalingen after defeating the local nobles in Tus. The city of Thun is not far from the Aarhus River flowing from Lake Thun. Thirty or forty kilometers downstream of the river is Bern, the capital of Switzerland. The overall design of this city is very unique. The center of the old city is a narrow island in the river, which is a good place for walking. The north bank of Hebei is the main body of the city, and the most prosperous and interesting street is called Haotegasai (meaning "main road"). The street is divided into two floors, next to the shop; People walk upstairs with flowers, but their feet are actually on the roofs of the lower shops. There is also a covered staircase on the street, leading to the castle and church on the slope. This staircase is hidden between houses 55 and 57 on the upper floor of the main road, which is very inconspicuous and easily missed by tourists.
Thun Castle is a bunker complex. The main building is a square tower with a turret at each corner. The main tower has three floors and is used by the History Museum (built at 1888). The exhibits are ancient weapons, ancient tapestries, and the historical evolution of Swiss military uniforms and weapons.
Shpits scenic spot:
Spic Town is located more than 30 kilometers southeast of Bern, near an inlet on the south bank of Thun Lake, with an altitude of 628 meters, belonging to Bern Plateau. Here, with clear water like a mirror, surrounded by snow peaks and fresh air, it is a famous resort for recuperation and water sports in Switzerland.
Shpits Castle was built in1200; The exterior architectural style is medieval Berne style, and the interior decoration is a combination of Gothic, Renaissance and Baroque art forms. It is simple and elegant, and it is one of the few monuments in Switzerland. This castle used to be the summer palace of the consul of Bern, so it is different from other ancient cities in Europe. It has no facilities to protect the city from the enemy, mainly for living. The underground of the castle also replaced the prison where prisoners were held with wine cellars. At the southern end of the courtyard is a small church built in 762 AD, which has the pastoral style of early Rome and Bern. The castle has been owned by the public since 1929, managed by a special foundation and open to the public. The exhibits in the museum are the relics and ancient furniture of the former owner of the castle. Classical concerts are held here every summer, attracting guests from all over the world.
Shpits is not only the base of yacht lovers, but also the only way to some resorts in the south. The road extends all the way to the northern foot of the Alps, but there are quiet streams and valleys, small mountain villages and wooden houses decorated with clusters of flowers. There is a winding path from Shpits to Gershtad in the southwest corner of bern state. It is the intersection of four valleys, so it is also an ideal skiing center.
