Swiss steamboat "Bluemlisalp" on lake Thun. There are a lot of other paddle steamer on the lakes of Switzerland.
RNHurt
My hometown has the Belle of Louisville and I've riden on it many times. Really cool! And the calliope rocks!
KAPTKipper
These boats used to run up and down the river in my Province. Guy my mother worked with collected thousands of photos of steamboats.

BlindGardener

HideousMonkeyCrap

wellthatsRAD
I feel compelled, look up the belle of louisville. I worked there for a few years and its still a pretty cool boat to check out
path0sMathos
Eh, stern-wheelers are way cooler.
noimaginationtomakeupwittyname
Scotland has the oldest paddle steamer in the world sails down the Clyde for holiday makers
Ihatenumbersinusernames
The oldest preserved, still timetabeled paddle-steamer is the Norwegian "Skibladner" from 1856. Still running scheduled runs across Mjøsa.
ceraxis
Wheres the steam?
Suportik
The most beautiful ship in the world.
jaySelfieDog
hey, welcome to my hometown
localsurfer
Side wheelers are pretty common in Europe for river ferries.
ChanceVLuck
NOT steam.
Upinthecold
Same in Norway on the Lake Mjøsa i think
BluePaladin42
I rode a paddlewheel on the Ohio river once, during a festival in Cincinnati. It was kinda awesome not gunna lie.
userfriendly19777
I'm neutral on that.
MichaeIScott
Taking Switzerland I see
LiterallyAWizard
Well, the flag is a big plus.
TiredOfTheBS
Everything changed with the Fire Nation (Russia) attacked.
VaultGirl69
Is the water really that color? Or is the video edited?
rickIsWatching
Video might be saturated, but water color is realistic. It comes from the glaciers so there it is very cold and has a lot of sand mixed in.
Tchernobog
It's real! It's due to the minerals in the mountains, it tints the water like that. Maybe slightly more vivid than in person but barely!
llcoolj
It just drove down from that mountain top.
Hurro
That's Interlaken, right?
YouMagnificentBastard
The world's oldest wooden Paddle Steamer is in regional Australia on the Murray River.
pr0nty
Water is pretty much the opposite of that colour, though.
Lot of silt in the Murray which makes it brown all the time
HerbKazzaz
That's it... I'm going to Switzerland next year
LurkerOfDarkness
Bring money.
I've been a few times in the last few years. Happy to give some tips if you want!

It looks like one of these five but I can’t make out the name: https://www.cgn.ch/en/fleet
SwissMountainsAreSoCool
Close, the CGN operates on Lake Geneva, while this is Lake Brienz. The ship appears to be the Lötschberg, a smaller version of the CGN ones.
Sweet, thanks!

Very similar to the steamers in Cleveland.

Water is a slightly darker colour though.
sirdanglez
My brain could not say this title properly...
oilyanaldischarge
Say it 4 times fast! I just tried and failed. Am I high?
Super high!
At your request I did a test two days later, tried it again. Yep, I was high! It took me a few times, though. +1
I still can't comprehend it properly...this can't be the brain that read 4 books every summer...
J3lek
The color of that river...
gandraw
Don't jump in it if you're Indonesian though...
Blazefast
It's probably the most expensive country in our solar system
tgeliot
That's "rock flour" from a glacier grinding down a mountainside. The ranger at Banff said that it's very hazardous to drink.

wababooba
It becomes like that when the water is clean
madeejit
A river formed by run-off from peatland can be totally unpolluted, but be as brown as onion soup. Rocky mountains can give clear run-off.
. . . and be chock full of giardia.
True that. I should have said "human generated pollution". It can still be plenty mucky without us getting involved.
StOfKillers
I know right? You can tell it’s not the US cause it’d be brown.
ipushbuttons
Rivers in the US are the same at similar high altitudes. IE: up in the mountains where they originate before they get polluted down stream.
evilgriff
Wait river’s AREN’T brown?
ilhares
Not gonna lie, I honestly thought they all were, every one I've ever seen in this country has been. Assumed it was sediment.
MushroomFiend
It is sediment. The yellow river in China is well, yellow because of heavy clay deposits.
aThingWithTheStufAndTheJunk
Detroit River
Though maybe it doesn't count because A. it's technically a strait and B. is only partially in this country.
Filanwizard
Side wheeler. You can still see some stern wheelers on the Mississippi I believe.
kutison
Portland, Oregon as well. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o_kgIawVtLU
I did not know that. Thanks for the video. +1

They're mostly for show with the actual props underneath. At least the ones based in New Orleans were.
AlbaneinCowboy
The Ohio, Columbia, and Snake as well.

A cruise on the Belle of Louisville is always a treat.
drduffer
Went on one on the Mississippi in New Orleans about 9 years ago.

Mississippi Queen or something else? I think she is a rear paddle where this one is a side.
I think so! Definitely a rear paddle wheel. Thanks!

Switzerland is one of the most gorgeous countries in the world. Fight me.
taksoto
I cant. Too busy looking at the views.
PastaLaPizzaBaby
Also the flag is big plus
angelblueeyes2000
Incredibly expensive country! The hotel rooms are like jail cells, furnished with ikea.
PepeThunder
It... depends. I have been on some matchboxes, and some of those have views you can't believe. And I have been to some great rooms.
HillOfBeans
Ok! Loser.
VitaminJay
Hey, just saw him on the Obidiah Wan show.
pewterpenguin
Really? You make the world's least controversial statement and end it with "fight me"? "Liquid water is wet, fight me" gtfo
cowplum
Is water wet? Surely something is only wet if it's solid and got water on it?
aCoolBreezeOnAHotSummerDay
2+2=4. Fight me
Murmull
I would if you had used superlatives.
WorksForTheHutts
I agree, and I accept.
CaldariBob
Oh no, you're correct. Unfortunately, it's also filled with the Swiss.
FentuckyCriedKhicken
Fight you for what? What do I get if I win? 100 dollars?
brownribbon
They don’t have Yosemite. That’s why you said “one of”
Frederf
I hire Swiss mercenaries to fight you for me.
Snooj
I agree with you. Can we fight anyway?
DeadManRay
Austria. Same beauty, less expensive.
Agreed. Austria is incredible too
SlothMasterJ
As someone living in Switzerland that just visited Austria, agreed.
BroadBeardBanana
But they hace got i minus.. we have got a big Plus
Housemaster
I really like garlic bread. Fight me.
YouWonTheGam3
Jokes on you, I'm already fat

Pieccentric
The nature is, the people are racist f*cks who are extremely privileged due to national aid in tax fraud in other countries and also 1/2
lots of jewish assets that never got claimed, because their rightful owners died in german concentration camps.
That's how they became rich. By crimes. But they try to uphold a myth of just being self-sufficient and clever.
Starfox5
Wow, educate yourself. The worst tax havens are in the USA and the Commonwealth.
While this is true for today, it does not change the reality of how Switzerland came to wealth, or that many many Europeans still use 1/2
