Pfaffikon: Flugplatz Speck-Fehraltorf (LSZK) 2
Few places in the Zürich Oberland have a history as closely tied to small-scale aviation as Speck-Fehraltorf Airfield near Pfäffikon. Known by the ICAO code LSZK, it occupies open farmland between Fehraltorf and Pfäffikon, with a grass runway set among the low wooded ridges of the Zürich Oberland. Pfäffikersee lies east of the airfield, forming part of a protected lake landscape. In Pfäffikon, the former Benedictine abbey, founded in 960, recalls the area’s medieval roots. Here, aviation infrastructure sits directly beside fields and rural settlements.

Pfäffikon lies along the northern shore of Lake Pfäffikon in Zurich’s Oberland, where a lowland lake basin meets wooded hills and wetlands. The lake and its reed-fringed margins give the town a markedly different setting from metropolitan Zurich, while the surrounding countryside remains part of the canton’s settled, agricultural heartland. Pfäffikon Abbey, a Benedictine institution founded in 960, recalls the community’s medieval religious past; it was secularised in 1848. The town is also connected to the Zurich S-Bahn network, linking this lakeside locality with the wider canton.

Built around a crossing on the Limmat River, Zurich grew into Switzerland’s largest city and one of Europe’s important financial centres. The city lies where the Limmat leaves Lake Zurich, with the wooded Uetliberg ridge rising to the west and the airport district extending northward. Its compact old town preserves lanes and guild houses on both banks of the river, while the Romanesque Grossmünster and the Fraumünster, renowned for stained-glass windows by Marc Chagall, mark the historic centre. Zurich’s museums, universities and lakeside promenades give the city a role that reaches well beyond banking.

Switzerland stretches from the Jura Mountains in the northwest to the Alps in the south, encompassing a central plateau of cities, farms and lakes. The Rhine rises in the Swiss Alps, while Lake Geneva forms part of the country’s southwestern border. Zürich, Geneva and Basel are major urban centres, yet mountain railways and passes remain central to how many regions are experienced. Four national languages—German, French, Italian and Romansh—reflect Switzerland’s distinct cantonal identities. The Matterhorn above Zermatt is among Europe’s most recognisable peaks, and the 1291 Federal Charter is closely associated with the country’s founding tradition.
