Flüelen (Schloss Rudenz)

Flüelen (440 m/1,444ft), a port and holiday resort at the south end of the Lake Uri, is built on the delta at the mouth of the canalized river Reuss. Near the station, behind the old parish church of St George and St Niklaus (1665) stands the little Schloss Rudenz, which once belonged to the lords of Attinghausen, whose estate extended to the shore of the lake and who controlled the customs station. Here stands an iron sculpture "Schwurhände" which Witschi created for the 1964 exhibition.

There is a cableway up the Eggeberge (1,440 m/4,775ft).

Flüelen is the landing-stage for boats from Lucerne. Passengers who have booked the "William Tell Express" excursion transfer here to the railroad to continue their trip into southern Ticino.
