Itinerary
This is a typical itinerary for this product
Stop At: Lake Zurich, Zurich Switzerland
10 am: Start of tour
Total time on the lake is about 2.5 hours and can be adjusted up or down depending on other stops & activities.
Lake Zurich. Formed by the river Linth and itself originating from meltwater of Glarus Alps glaciers in the South, the water exits through the river Limmat in Zurich. Fun fact: lake Zurich last froze up in 1963 and this happens only three times per century on average. Its water is so clean and potable that it is fed into the Zurich city water system after only minimal purification.
Duration: 2 hours
Stop At: Wasserspiel Aquaretum, Mythenquai 25, Zurich 8002 Switzerland
Stop by Lion statue at Enge harbour
Stop by large fountain just outside Enge harbour
Aquaretum. The fountain just outside Enge harbor was designed by artist Andres Bosshard and built by Fischer Architects in 2019 as an update to the previous fountain. It consists of 12 tilted nozzles arranged in a circle producing jets reaching up to 35 m. The jets are directly driven by the weather and by seismic activity worldwide as recorded by ETH Zurich. At dusk and on public holidays LED lights give the fountain a special accent.

Stop At: Kilchberg, Kilchberg
Optional stop at Moenchhof in Kilchberg for coffee
Kilchberg. A small town just south of Zurich. It is famous for its favorable tax regime, its high wealth resident and the Lindt & Sprüngli chocolate factory. We like Kilchberg because of Mönchhof am See, a cozy water-front café/beer garden/restaurant that is just perfect to relax.
