【【 # Swiss Dam Tour The main feature of the tour is to visit the four giant arch dams, Grimsel, Contra, Emosson, and Mauvoisin, which represent not only Switzerland but also Europe. These four dams are absolutely essential, so I managed to get them included in the tour. pic.twitter.com/bqJmKlmCo2

One thing I will say is that I don't recommend it if you are a so-called discharge gate or flood discharge enthusiast. There are hardly any gates or anything.- Masaki Hagiwara @Mutual Follow 10% (@damsite) May 31, 2016
