This is a nice place for a walk or a jog around the lake to stretch your legs. It's an easy walk…read morewith very slight uphill/downhill, and there are plenty of families walking or biking around as well. You have the option of taking a tiny motorboat across the lake (for a fee, I assume - I myself have never taken it). Because this lake is mostly used for rowing/rowing practice, it's closed to swimming, but there's a "Seebad" on one end of the lake where you can pay to go swim. There's also a small playground for kids on one side of the lake.

Woohooo. As good as it gets for a nice summer time swim. Easy access to via foot/public…read moretransportation/car. I recall going there over summer and swimming in the second lake. The scene around the lake was buzzing and filled with the full array of locals. This is a place where you can really get back in touch with nature. When swimming across the pond, you can see fishes and ducks swimming next to you. When it's hot in the city, this is the place to be. There's also a private area, if you prefer a quieter setting but it's all the same water.

I frequent this delightful spot on Lake Luzern every summer. It's an old swim club that has been…read morerefurbished and rethought to make it a cool, relaxing summer hangout. The manager Bruno is fantastic, he always has a smile on his face. The food is really good and there's always something healthy on the menu, I frequently order one of the huge salads and there are plenty of beverage choices both alcoholic and nonalcoholic. You can lock up your valuables and find a spot either in the shade on the main deck or on the sunfilled roof deck where you get the best views. If the lake is 20 grade and up you can jump via a ladder that goes directly into the deep part of the lake without treading on muck and rocks. In the evening you can watch the fish swim in the enclosed pool, lite up below with colored lights and relax at the bar. On occation, there is live music which makes the space even more magical.

We arrived a few days early for our July 2019 Collette 9 day tour of Alpine lakes and Scenic…read moreTrains, spending the time self touring Zurich, Switzerland. Much of the time at various museums, but found time to walk to Lake Zurich. Big vast blue mountain lake on the edge of one of the most expensive cities in Europe. Snow covered peaks of the Alps in the background. Fancy promenade for walking around the parks full of gardens that line the Lake. Water fountain in one area, spewing a geyser of water high in the sky. Bridges and wooden towers line the river full of ducks quaking for a handout. On the opposite side is a lake shore walkway. They have a high dive tower in the summer, where dare devils jump off the 30 foot tower into the deep cold waters of the Lake below. A local band is playing. When they see that I'm recording a few seconds of music, one of the performers stops me afterward, asking if I would like to buy a CD of their music. Trying to get hustled again. Not many Asians in Zurich, and no way for me to hide that I was a tourist. As our tour leader, Marion Roy said, this was the first time she had seen a senior Chinese tourist in shorts and sandals. But she had never been to California in the summer nor Hawaii.

Loved it here. Spent a Sunday afternoon just reading my book on one of the benches. Water is really…read moreclean, which makes the whole setting really nice. Beautiful view of everything.
