From 23th to 25th Juni 2006 we steamed on the Lago di Lugano. Since at this time the Gotthard route was interrupted by a rockslide at Gurtnellen, nothing else remained for us as a drive over six passes with our paddle steamer! On the wy there we selected the route Bruenig - Grimsel - Nufenen. For the way back we drove the route Gotthard - Susten - Bruenig. On the Lago di Lugano we meet the steamboat Campagnora, which whole June in Morcote was stationed. In connection of the one 1st anniversarry of the Nautico-Club-Morcote as well as the event that our paddle steamer is on the Lake of Lugano, the Swiss television filmed Liberty Belle in the bay of Lugano.
