Lake Zurich

A lake in Switzerland, Lake Zurich, reaches southeast of the city of Zürich. Depending on the situation, the term Lake Zurich or Zürichsee may refer to the entire lake or just the portion of the lake that is located downstream of the Seedamm at Rapperswil. The portion of the lake that is located upstream of Rapperswil may be referred to as the Obersee or Upper Lake. It was mostly used as a traffic and transportation route in the past, but it is now a well-liked excursion location for swimming, sailing, boating, and shoreside picnicking.

Lake Zurich contains four islands. Particularly noteworthy are the little islands of Lützelau and Ufenau, which include the parish church of Saints Peter and Paul, and Saffa Island. The last of these is a well-liked destination and is connected to the mainland by a brief footbridge.

Lake Zurich is a bathers' paradise in the summer. Although Wollishofen, Mythenquai, Enge, Utoquai, and Tiefenbrunnen's outdoor bathing areas are particularly popular during the bathing season, there are still many additional places along the lake to cool off. Lake Zurich is one of the most beautiful lakes in Switzerland.
