Swiss Activities Tip

Rapperswil is the city of roses. You’ll find them almost everywhere, even on the city coat of arms. The historic old town (13th to 17th century) is a nice destination for an excursion. The castle (13th century) stands above the old town on a rock spur and is surrounded by water on three sides. The wooden bridge on the southeastern side of the lake dam is designed specifically for pedestrians. Knie’s Children’s Zoo is the winter home of the Swiss Circus Knie. Here, direct contact with the animals is central.
