Lake Eggeri, Canton of Zug, Switzerland

Lake Egri is a glacial lake in the Swiss canton of Zug in the Alps. The two municipalities along its shores are Oberegri and Unteregri. The surface area of ​​the lake is 7.3 square kilometers, the average depth is 49 meters, the deepest point is 83 meters, and since 1992 Lake Egri has been given the function of a reservoir. Although this is not a well-known tourist attraction and the lake is not well-known, it has beautiful scenery of the Alps and a quiet environment. In my opinion, among all the more than 30 lakes in Switzerland that I have visited, the scenery here is at least above average. The Battle of Morganton on November 15, 1315 took place about 2 kilometers away from the southern shore of the lake. At that time, Schwytz's army, with the support of the cantons of Uri and Unterwalden, assembled an army of 1,000 people and defeated the Austrian army of about 2,000 to 3,000 people with slight casualties. The Swiss victory solidified the treaty of alliance between the cantons of Uri, Schwyz and Undwalden, signed in 1291, which formed the core of the Old Swiss Confederation. #OverseasTravel #Alps #SwissTravelGuide #SwissTravel #Switzerlandissobeautiful #SwissAlps #lake
