Meilen is located on the eastern shore of Lake Zurich. A ferry takes you from Meilen to Horgen on the western shore. A prehistoric settlement site was found here in the middle basin of Lake Zurich. It is part of the UNESCO World Heritage Site "Lakeside Settlements of the Alpine Region". The pretty church on the lakeshore is a Protestant church from the 7th century. It was given a new tower in the 16th century and its interior was rebuilt in the 17th century. The ruins of Friedberg Castle bear witness to the remains of a castle on the hillside.

“A wonderfully sunny day and relaxing hours at Rigi Kaltbad Wellness. It was worth being at the spa as early as 10:30 AM, since it got very crowded in the afternoon. We’ll gladly come back – of course by boat, train, and cable car.”

“Great facilities- friendly staff . We got the cog wheel train from Vitznau to the Kaltbad and then hiked up to the Rigi Klum. We had lunch there and then hiked back to the KaltbadSpa. It was so relaxing after the hi out .”
