Lake Zurich
Zürichsee
Lake Zurich (Zürichsee) is a lake shared by the cantons of Zurich, Schwyz and St. Gallen, with the city of Zurich on its shore.
Why go
Zürich Tourism describes the lake as once mainly a transport route and today an excursion destination for swimming, sailing, boating and picnics on the shore. It says the Lake Zurich Navigation Company (ZSG) runs steamboats and motor vessels on the lake, and that the shores are linked by ferry and by the dam at Rapperswil. It names four islands, among them Ufnau with its parish church of St. Peter and Paul, Lützelau, and the Saffa island, joined to the shore by a footbridge. Wikidata classes the lake as an area that is not part of any Swiss municipality, so Zurich is a base for this record, not its container. The record is the lake as a whole; its map point is a point in the open water, not a landing, beach or pier.
