About this audio guide
This guide to Ufschötti in Lucerne traces how a lakeside beach came from six years of rock hauled out of the Sonnenberg Tunnel and tipped straight into the water in the nineteen seventies. It follows the artificial peninsula's second life, when conservationists later built breeding islands offshore to give displaced birds somewhere to nest. Best heard standing at the waterline, looking out toward those small islands near the marina.
