The Linth Channel

Switzerland / Glarus / Bilten /
The taming of the Linth river (Linthkorrektur) from 1807 to 1823 was one of the great engineering features of the beginning 19th century, the earliest project of such a size undertaken by the new Swiss state, and a great example of solidary action within the early Switzerland.
