Lake Zürich Region

Lake Zürich links the city of Zürich with Rapperswil, the City of Roses. The journey from Zürich by train or car takes a good half an hour, while the trip by boat is somewhat more leisurely. The imposing medieval castle and the longest wooden bridge in Switzerland are just two of the highlights of the “Riviera” at the upper end of Lake Zürich. The aquatic park, Alpamare, and the 700-meter long giant slide in Atzmännig also provide fun for all the family. Real circus animals can be viewed at Knie’s Children’s Zoo, but that’s not all: here visitors can feed the animals, take a ride on an elephant and marvel at the legendary sea lion show.

The gentle rolling hills surrounding the lake, as well as the Linth plateau between Lake Walen and Lake Zürich, are predestined to be explored under one’s own steam. Well marked hiking routes and Nordic Walking trails, not to mention ideal terrain for inline skating trips and mountain bike tours, invite visitors to enjoy a leisurely excursion or a more exerting sports activity, just as they please.
