Training on the Rotsee

In order to increase safety on the Rotsee, a buoy rope or a large buoy will be installed every 500 m to clearly demarcate traffic during rowing operations from May 1st to October 15th. The Lucerne Rowing Center – Rotsee Foundation is responsible for the installation;

Entering and exiting the water is only permitted at the pontoons provided for this purpose;

Towards the start, rowers must row on the side of the rowing centre (south bank) and towards the finish on the “Sedel” side (north bank). The distance to the bank must be at least 30 metres on both sides of the lake. In general, rowers should use the centre/buoy rope as a guide and not the bank;

Crossing the lake is only permitted in the starting zone and after the finish line. Only full laps may be rowed. Crossing the middle rope or the lanes is generally prohibited;
Gemäss Schifffahrtsordnung ist der Rotseefähre zwingend Vorfahrt zu gewähren;

As soon as the regatta infrastructure is installed on the lake, the current sailing regulations will be posted at the main entrance to the rowing center;

During the breeding season, when choosing a location within coaching zones 1 + 2, consideration must be given to breeding waterfowl and to fishermen, especially in the “Jungfischerplatz”.

The use of amplifiers (megaphones, etc.) and driving any kind of vehicle along the riverside paths are generally prohibited.
