Geneva and the Matterhorn: Quest for the Water Castle

56m 51s

Renowned adventurer Richard Bangs explores the Rhone River, Lake Geneva and the Matterhorn regions of Switzerland — known since Medieval times as the "water castle" of Europe. Richard uncovers how the Swiss harnessed the Rhone to light Switzerland and its neighbors, power some of the world's most efficient rail systems and quench the thirst of millions, preserving this precious resource.
