Water jet and more

in Pinmapplelast month

In the lake basin of Geneva, La Rade, you can just admire the 140-meter-high water jet. If you're in the area, you shouldn't miss it. Geneva's landmark has a beautiful story behind it. Did you know that the famous Jet d'eau was created almost by pure happenstance? about1886, the waterworks were forced to create an open-air outfall, as the water was under excess pressure.

This construction generated such great enthusiasm that it became a real attraction for locals and tourists alike. As a result, a new Jet d'eau was built in 1891 at its actual location and can be seen from anywhere in the city.
