Description

The lake is long and usually very windy. Mountains on the left and on the right give you a spectaculary view. It is a bit complicated to kitesurf there, because you need a boat and someone who is looking for you when you kitesurf.

How to go there

Please check out the local school, it is only possible to access with a boat. You have to launch and land in the middle of the lake.

Nightlife

There is some pubs and small clubs around, super nightlife in Zurich!
