Schmerikon

Schmerikon has served as a small port at the eastern end of Lake Zurich in the canton of St Gallen since the Middle Ages. The settlement occupies the shore of the Obersee, the lake’s upper basin, where the Linth Canal reaches Lake Zurich after crossing the Linth plain. Lake transport and the railway along the shore have long connected Schmerikon with Rapperswil and communities towards Glarus. The parish church of St Jodokus and the compact old centre reflect its local identity, while the waterfront remains central to daily life.
