Unterwalden, Historic paddle steamer and cultural property in Lucerne, Switzerland.

The Unterwalden paddle steamer measures 62 meters in length and operates regular excursions across the waters of Lake Lucerne throughout different seasons.

Built by Escher, Wyss & Cie in 1902, the Unterwalden paddle steamer underwent major renovations in 1949, 1961, 1985, and 2011 to maintain its functionality.

The vessel represents the evolution of Swiss lake transportation, featuring three elegant saloons on the main deck that accommodate up to 700 passengers.

Visitors can access the paddle steamer through Lucerne's central dock, connecting with regular railway services that bring travelers directly to the embarkation point.

The Unterwalden features a lowerable chimney system that allows passage under the Acheregg Bridge to reach Lake Alpnach without interruption.
