The Fistelweiher is near Fischenthal, but still a bit far from Zurich.... (Please show a little more care when creating and labeling highlights).

Check the exact position—otherwise you'll be standing on a building site and won't be able to see anything of the castle.

How wonderful to be able to jump into the water in summer temperatures and have a pebble beach. Herons, fish, dragonflies, tadpoles – pure nature ☺️

Ideal for families. Well-developed, beautiful area. Unless the Töss River isn't carrying water, in which case it's simply a fun place for children to play.
