The Reussbrücke connects Unterlunkhofen with Rottenschwil. There is a separate crossing for pedestrians and bikers. The crossing is single-lane for car drivers, but there are large parking lots on both sides and the Restaurant Hecht nearby (recommended for a culinary treat).

Actually, the Flachsee... is not really a lake but an expansion within the Reuss river. The Flachsee is about 300 meters wide and shows swamp landscapes on its banks, where water buffalo can sometimes be found. Smaller island groups have formed in the Flachsee (depending on the season/weather, they are more or less visible), where waterfowl breed and can be observed well from the shore.
