Zurich was the starting and the end point of my Black Forest road trip (read about it here). This short stay was full of beautiful scenes, walks and flavours accompanied by the nice weather and the elegance of a swiss city.

Activities & Entertainment
Zurich Lake
It is the fifth largest swiss lake and has great water quality. One can choose among many activities in this area such as sailing and swimming but even just a walk alongside the lake bank is equally fulfilling.
