Bürkliterrasse
|
|
|
The Bürkliterrasse - opened in 1887 as the culmination of the Bahnhofstrasse and part of the lakeside park area (Quaianlage) - is the ideal spot to sit and relax under the trees. In clear weather you can enjoy marvellous views across the lake to the Alps. Since 1952 the terrace has been graced with the figure of Zeus (the eagle) and his lover, Ganymede, shown being borne up to Mount Olympus. The beautiful original weeping elms that fell victim to elm disease have been replaced with maple trees.
