Rapperswil on Lake Zurich
Exotic animal sounds, turquoise water, a road crossing a lake... all this sounds like somewhere far away... yet you are in Rapperswil, in the canton of St. Gallen. This small town on the shores of Lake Zurich is famous for being the home of the Knie family, owners of the eponymous circus. Start by visiting the old town. Set on a small hill, you will be surprised by the number of towers and spires you will find there. Want to cross the lake? No need to take a boat, you can walk across to the other side of the lake on the long wooden footbridge, from where you can enjoy the beautiful view of the city, the lake and the Alps in the background. In the afternoon, take a trip to the Knie Zoo, which is sure to please young and old alike.
