Rotsee


The Rotsee is a natural rowing lake on the northern edge of Lucerne, Switzerland. It is long with virtually no current and protected from winds by nearby hills making it an ideal rowing venue.
The first regatta was hosted here in 1933 and since been the venue of many international rowing events. European Rowing Championships were held here in 1934 and 1947, and again in 2019. The inaugural World Rowing Championships were held in 1962.
The lake is the venue for the final leg of the World Rowing Cup series. When a World Championships is also being held in Lucerne then no World Cup race is held on the lake.
