Altdorf

Altdorf is a historic and statistical town and a municipality in the Swiss canton of Uri. It is also the capital of Uri.

The municipality covers an area of 10.21 square kilometres and is located just about 2 kilometres south of the mouth of the Reuss, which flows into the Lake Lucerne, here called the Urnersee. The town Altdorf lies at an altitude of 458 metres above sea level on the right, eastern bank of the Reuss, a flat, alluvial land of up to 2 kilometres diameter between otherwise steep and high Alpine mountains of around 3,000 metres elevation, but the municipality also covers the Alpine pasture landscape of Eggbergen about 1,000 metres above Altdorf.
