“A really interesting tour, with access to rooms that are normally off-limits.”
Pfäffikon SZ
Pfäffikon belongs to the canton of Schwyz and is located on the southern part of Lake Zurich. It is connected with Rapperswil via the Seedamm. The largest covered swimming pool in Europe, the Alpamare, is located in the town. Only a few steps away you will find the Seedamm Center, a large shopping mall. In the lower village, close to Lake Zurich, stands the Pfäffikon Castle Tower. It is the last relic of a castle complex from the 13th century. The Etzel, located to the south, is considered the local mountain of Pfäffikon. A pass road with the Meinrad fountain leads over it at 1096 m above sea level. The St. Meinrad Chapel, dedicated to St. Meinrad of Einsiedeln, is also located on the top of the pass

“It’s absolutely lovely and great fun for all ages! The children and we really enjoyed it! Many thanks!”
“Unfortunately, there’s no drinking water, but it’s fine.”
“It was lovely.”
“A great idea, very well executed and presented. It’s frustrating that I can’t see what I’ve already written here!! I would have liked to hear more about nightlife back then. What happened to the sick or women in labour? What about runaway children or raging epidemics at night? But it was great, thank you very much!!”
“Some of the audio guides didn't work. A really lovely exhibition — it was well worth it.”
