★★★★★4 years agoI strongly recommend to visit this place early in the morning. We got up at 7am to walk here to watch the sunrise. The sun is very beautiful. very fresh air. you can also see a lot of activities here like running and fishing even swimming.
Francesco Andreoli
★★★★★7 years agoLOVE IT! Very colorful scene all summer! The lakeside park area encloses the lower basin of Lake Zurich with a splendid promenade. As said, many people gather here to create a colorful scene in summer. REALLY RECOMMENDED!
