The Reuss is a river in Switzerland. With a length of and a drainage basin of , it is the fourth largest river in Switzerland (after the Rhine, Aare and Rhône). The highest point of the drainage basin is the summit of Dammastock, at 3,630 metres. Rising in the Gotthard massif, the Reuss runs from the Urserental and continues through the Schöllenen Gorge and under the legendary Devil's Bridge (Teufelsbrücke) at St. Gotthard Pass. It runs through Lake Lucerne (German ''Vierwaldstättersee'') and the city of Lucerne, where a pioneering needle dam (just upstream from the Spreuerbrücke) maintains the water level. It receives the Kleine Emme from Entlebuch at Emmen and Lorze from Lake Zug at Hünenberg. Near Bremgarten, the river is dammed, forming Flachsee. The Reuss, the Aare, and the Limmat come together near Brugg at the "Watercastle of Switzerland". After the confluence the river continues as the Aar, which flows into the Rhine, which runs through Germany into the North Sea. ==Bridges== *Schöllenen Gorge * *Teufelsbrücke (Devil's Bridge) * Lucerne * * Seebrücke * * Kapellbrücke, first built 1333, rebuilt 1993 * * Rathaussteg * * Reussbrücke * * Spreuerbrücke, built 1408 * * Geissmattbrücke * * * * Sankt-Karli-Brücke * * * * Ibachbrücke * Bremgarten * * Reussbrücke, first built c. 1270, first mentioned 1281, wooden bridge rebuilt 1953-1957 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Reuss (river)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
