Not only does Zurich's cultural and festival life take place here, but also the famous Sechseläuten festival takes place every spring, when the even more famous "Böögg" is burned. The opera house is right next door.

Today, at 5:45 a.m., we set off on a tour around Lake Zurich.
From Niederuster, Brand, towards Ottikon. Passing a large field of fine fennel, we headed to Rapperswil, Pfäffikon SZ, Zurich, Feldbach, Hombrechtikon, Oetwil, and Uster.
