This long, crescent shaped lake curves past the wooded peaks of Pfannenstiel to the east and the Albis chain to the west.
There are many ways to make the most of the lake, some we’ll go into more detail about later.
But for convenience if you’re just ambling around the city, take the scenic promenade along the east shore in the Seefeld quarter.
There you can look over to Uetliberg and see the hundreds of yachts and other craft breezing across the lake in summer.
