Pfäffikersee
The Pfäffikersee is a 3.3 km² lake in the Zurich Oberland, Switzerland, with a catchment area of 40 km².
The Pfäffikersee lies in a valley on the western edge of the hilly area in the Zurich Oberland. The lake stretches in a north-south direction between Pfäffikon ZH and Wetzikon with a length of 2.5 kilometers and an average width of 1.3 kilometers. The average lake level is 537 m above sea level. M.; the deepest point on the lake floor reaches 501 m above sea level. M., which corresponds to a maximum depth of 36 meters; the average lake depth is 18.5 meters. The distance of the ZAW hiking trail around Lake Pfäffikersee is nine kilometers.
The only notable tributary is the Kemptnerbach (also called Chämtnerbach in the dialect), which rises in the western Tössbergland between Bäretswil and Fischenthal below the Allmen and flows into Lake Pfäffikersee in the southeast after a run of around 9.5 km. In the south, the Ustermer Aa leaves the Pfäffikersee, flows first south and then in a northwesterly direction to Greifensee. The lake shore is very flat on all sides except the west.
The eponymous Pfäffikon, whose old town center is close to the north bank, the farming village of Seegräben in the southwest and the town of Wetzikon in the south have parts of the lake. The area around Lake Pfäffikersee was already populated in the Neolithic period, as numerous finds of prehistoric and protohistoric settlement remains (pile dwellings) have proven. The ruins of the Roman fort Irgenhausen are located near the eastern shore of the lake.
