Λίμνη Ζυρίχης
Lake Zurich is a long, curved lake in northern Switzerland. The city of Zurich sits at its northern end. Towns, vineyards and small harbours line both shores, and the Alps appear in the distance on clear days.
The lake is a place for swimming, boat trips and slow walks. Trains and boats link the towns, so you can easily see many in a day.
