Rapperswil, the Riviera of upper Lake Zürich,
promises its visitors southern charm. The
small, quaint alleys in the medieval old part of
town invite visitors to take a stroll or do window
shopping. The Rapperswil castle is perched
high upon a hill and contains a Polish museum.
The region was known to visitors from the
North already during the Middle Ages. Lake
Zürich is situated on the route taken by the
Jacob pilgrims who also visited Rapperswil
on their way to Santiago de Compostela. A
somewhat unsafe, tortuous wooden footbridge
with loosely laid planks helped them
make their way across the lake. The footbridge
was replaced by a new, 841-metre
long modern bridge in 2001. Crossing this
new bridge is a unique experience.
