ABOUT THE VENUE
The waters of the Rotsee are ideal for competitive rowing. The lake’s size and shape enable Olympic-style six-lane racing over 2000 meters; its geographical position makes the course arguably the fairest in the world.
At the same time, the Rotsee is also a Nature Reserve with a rich variety of flora and fauna. Its shores are a year-round recreational area for large numbers of local residents.
