Zurich region

Samstagern

Samstagern is a small village in the Zurich region and belongs to the municipality of Richterswil. The village is located beyond the A3 highway. The old Sagi is a museum that reminds of the old craftsmanship. It has existed since at least 1656 and the large mechanical mortar works have been restored. The community of Richterswil is located between the chain of hills of the Höhronen and the western shore of Lake Zurich on the foothills of the Schwyz Alps. Richterswil has a quaint village center with well-preserved half-timbered houses and is well worth a visit. The surrounding hilly landscape and Lake Zurich offer many opportunities for water sports and land sports
