What to do during bad weather if you are in Zurich? Take time to go out of the town for a change and go to the cinema, watch an action or a comedy film and dine afterwards...or just hang around with a good drinks? Yes, it is possible here in PATHE DIETLIKON . For Mexican food lovers is DESPERADO RESTAURANT a good deal.

Restaurant Chnusperh��sli
4 more images

Witches.........i think they're known to everyone.....i know them in my former fairy tale books.....and in reality! This house is filled with surprises and staffed with Swiss witches, the Chnusperhüsli (literally means- Crispy Hut). These witches are very active in the evening. Great for special occasions. So if you want to surprise somebody in an unusual way, here's the place . It is very popular, so booking is a must.

Very beautiful.View the power of water in its full force.You get to view it from different angles.From atop a cliff,sideways,from under the falls itself(from the boat!)It is a good picnic spot and you can spend a day or half a day around the area.

Visit Rapperswil

Rapperswil
2 more images

Rapperswil is a town that belongs to Kanton St. Gallen but can be reached easily from Zurich. This medieval city center is considered as one of Lake Zurich's most significant junctions for traffic coming and going in all directions. We usually go by boat to enjoy the wonderful scenic views around the lake which takes longer. Back to Zurich is faster with the train. It takes only 25 min.
The city's sights is confined to a small area and can be easily seen while strolling through the old part of the town.
Visit and explore!

the new cableways
3 more images

A trip up to Felsenegg (804 m above sea-level) is a must. A cableway lifts you up to Zurich's mountain range Felsenegg from the valley of Adliswil. It operates every 15 minutes. Fantastic views await you at the top. Once there, ( depending on your time) decide whether to walk up to Uetliberg or head to Albispass or further down to Buchenegg. There are many sign-posted walking and hiking routes, so, it's your turn now.

Pfäffikersee is a lake with a length of some 2 km and a width of 1 km. It offers some sorts of fun like, boating, skating, fishing, strolling, or just idle and enjoy nature. Learning about nature is fascinating. Discover the plants and animal kingdom in and around the lake. There are information boards set along the bank. There are some elevated planked walkways giving a possibility to amble through the extensive beds of reeds. The lakeside promenade in Pfäffikon is a good starting for this worthwhile tour.

Plane spotting #2 at sundowns

4 out of 5 starsHelpfulness

Just at the Heliport Grill area, there is another magnificent area for spotting planes . Probably, the best place to get a good view of every action and allows you to take some captures on both runways. There is a fence which the authorities made some large holes to stick your camera letting you catch some good shots.No entrance charges. Also excellent at sundowns.
For another tip, please check my Kloten page.
