đ Netstal in the context of Glarus
Glarus (Swiss Standard German: [ËÉĄlaËrÊs] ; Alemannic German: Glaris; French: Glaris [ÉĄlaÊis]; Italian: Glarona; Romansh: Glaruna) is the capital of the canton of Glarus in Switzerland. Since 1 January 2011, the municipality of Glarus incorporates the former municipalities of Ennenda, Netstal and Riedern.
Glarus lies on the river Linth between the foot of the GlÀrnisch (part of the Schwyzer Alps) to the west and the Schilt (Glarus Alps) to the east. Very few buildings built before the fire of 1861 remain. Wood, textile, and plastics, as well as printing, are the dominant industries. The symbol of the city is the neo-Romanesque city church.

Netstal in the context of Klöntalersee
Klöntalersee is a natural lake in the Klöntal valley in the canton of Glarus, Switzerland. It was formed by a rockslide and has served as a reservoir for hydroelectric power generation since 1908. The lake is impounded by the Rhodannenberg earthfill dam, which supplies water to a hydroelectric power station near Netstal.
Located at an elevation of 848 metres above sea level, the lake covers an area of approximately 3.3 square kilometres. It is considered the oldest major reservoir in Switzerland and is known for its frequently mirror-like surface that reflects the surrounding mountains. The primary inflow is the Klön stream, and the outflow is the Löntsch, which flows into the Linth near Netstal.
