Schiller

The Schiller paddle steamer stretches 63 meters along Lake Lucerne, featuring traditional wooden decks and characteristic side-mounted paddlewheels for propulsion.

Built during the era when paddle steamers served as primary transportation across Swiss lakes, the Schiller maintains its original mechanical systems from construction.

The vessel represents Swiss engineering excellence and maritime heritage, earning designation as a class A cultural property of national significance.

Visitors can board the Schiller for lake excursions from spring through autumn, with departures scheduled multiple times daily from the main dock.

The Schiller continues regular passenger service while simultaneously functioning as a floating museum of Swiss maritime technology and engineering methods.
