Few municipalities in the canton of Lucerne have a history as closely tied to farming on the Reuss plain as Root. Set between the Reuss and the slopes of Rooterberg, it lies east of Lucerne, where the broad valley floor meets central Switzerland’s pre-Alpine terrain. Root has grown from a rural settlement into a residential and employment community, supported by rail connections at Gisikon-Root. The parish church of St Martin remains a local landmark, while walking and cycling routes trace the open valley and river corridor.
