Strandbad Huenenberg
10 Ronald Harper

This beach is an incredible spot to enjoy a sunny day! It's extremely popular among families and young adults. The restaurant offers outstanding food (definitely give the Thai buffet a try!) with exceptional service and a diverse range of delicious choices. Despite being quite busy, the service is very efficient and the food is of top-notch quality. They frequently host special events like live music and sports, so make sure to check their website for more information. I highly recommend this place!

Seebad Walchwil
10 Kamil Novak

We stumbled upon this lovely lake on a hot day and were pleasantly surprised. Despite its small size, it's a great spot for swimming and taking in the beautiful view of Rigi. It's not crowded, which may be due to Covid restrictions, but we thoroughly enjoyed our refreshing dip.
