excursion to Rapperswil, the “Town of Roses”
Enjoy a delightful excursion to two of the most fascinating destinations on Lake Zurich. Cruise across the lake in first class to the peaceful island of Ufenau, the largest island in Switzerland not connected to the mainland. Steeped in history, Ufenau has been a place of worship and pilgrimage for over a thousand years and is home to the Romanesque Church of St. Peter and St. Paul, dating from the 12th century. Continue to the picturesque medieval town of Rapperswil, whose origins date back to the 13th century. Known as the “Town of Roses”, Rapperswil charms visitors with its well-preserved Old Town, historic castle overlooking the lake, and narrow streets lined with historic buildings. Enjoy beautiful views of Lake Zurich and discover the rich cultural heritage of this unique region before returning to Zurich by train.
