Lake side trip to Lachen
Pfnüselküste is the name given from the people, who live at the opposite side of the lake of Zurich. People from the Pfnüselküste would never live on the other side even thought the sun shines longer over there. The Albis a chain of hills in the Canton Zurich of Switzerland, is the reason why the sun disappears earlier on the left side of the lake of Zurich. A huge part will be wrapped in shade. Nevertheless, the good is so nearby! A trip along the lake to Lachen by sunrise or sunset will be accompanied with lots of colors in the sky and in the water. The view over the sea is just gorgeous especially in fall or during the winter season.
