Richterswil

Richterswil lies along the southern shore of Lake Zurich, where the built-up lakeside rises into cultivated slopes and the wider Zurich countryside. The municipality is part of a chain of settlements around one of Switzerland’s largest lakes, linked to Zurich and neighbouring shores by rail and passenger boats. Its best-known local tradition is the Räbechilbi: every November, streets and the waterfront are lit by lanterns carved from turnips, a procession that brings regional folklore into public space. Lake Zurich remains central to daily life, with waterside promenades and public access to the water.
