Very nice! The short detour is worthwhile.

A very beautiful lakeside promenade, easily accessible by bike. The baroque church next door is also worth a visit!

During an excursion, we had the pleasure of climbing the two onion domes and learning all sorts of interesting and amusing stories about the more than 300-year-old parish church. It is believed that plans from a southern German church were used. This is why the two onion domes seem somewhat foreign in the church landscape of Märchl. The Lachen Parish Church is an outstanding example of a Baroque church building, intended to showcase the beauty of the Catholic faith. The church was built between 1707 and 1710 by Peter and Gabriel Thumb from Vorarlberg and consecrated in 1711. Since then, it has been the unmistakable landmark of Lachen and remains a much-visited place of silent and communal prayer. The following information is intended to introduce you to the mystery of this church space. The Baroque is the Catholic response to the Reformation in the 16th century, carved in stone and wood. Not iconoclasm, but images and colors in abundance. Not a sober focus on the Word, but a magnificent unfolding of the Christian message in images, symbols, and ornaments. The whole person is to be addressed and rise up to God. The Lachner parish church is dedicated to the Holy Cross and celebrates its patron saint's day on the Exaltation of the Cross (September 14th or the second Sunday in September). The external celebration – the Chilbi – has been scheduled a week earlier since the 1940s. The name of the church reflects its artistic program: Jesus on the cross draws all eyes. The upper panel of the high altar depicts Abraham, at God's command, intending to sacrifice his son Isaac. This story from the Old Testament was early on interpreted as referring to the sacrificial death of Christ. A special reminiscence of the cross can be found in the Lachner parish coat of arms (albeit reversed!): a T-shaped cross with a bronze serpent.

The Rietberg Museum in Zurich is unique in Switzerland: it exclusively exhibits non-European art. Its collections originate from Asia, Africa, the Americas, and Oceania. The modern glass pavilion "Emerald" is also well-known. In addition to permanent exhibitions, the museum offers exciting special exhibitions, guided tours, lectures, and a café in the park.

Beautiful place to watch frogs

Definitely worth a visit - not crowded...

Wide bridge with a beautiful view of the Doppelmünster and the opportunity to cross the Limmat to visit the other two churches.
