Nice terrace! Also: From here it's worth taking a short walk to Haab-Inseli, a real mini-island in Lake Zurich, a few meters from the shore.

April 14, 2023,🇨🇭 Etappe 3, Horgen–Richterswil

It was still cloudy this morning, but the afternoon showed its best side.
From the Horgen fountain, you walk along the lake. On the way there are opportunities to swim (from June), stop off or have a fire. The highlight of the stage is the Au peninsula with its castle, park and natural pond. A real gem on Lake Zurich.
