Greifensee

Set along the northern shore of Lake Greifensee in the canton of Zurich, Greifensee is a place whose character is shaped by its protected lakeshore and well-preserved medieval centre. Narrow lanes run through the historic core to Greifensee Castle, whose origins date to the 13th century and which recalls the town’s former role as a local seat of power. Lake Greifensee is surrounded by an important nature reserve, with reed beds and open farmland marking a quieter counterpoint to nearby Zurich. Walking and cycling routes follow much of the shoreline and connect the town with neighbouring lakeside communities. Explore further points of interest via webcams across the canton of Zurich.
