Swimming in the river! Zurichs Limmat is so clean (and very cold), so that you can jump in and float down the river. Do this here or at Oberer Letten. We love to do this in summer! Bring a lock and you can use the free lockers, showers and toilets.

Beautiful walk along the lake to get to this park. Here the city installed a free, public electric barbecue that you could use. Grab some aluminum foil from our kitchen and then buy some BBQ goods at the COOP supermarket near Stadelhofen Bf station on your way over there. Enjoy an evening of swimming in the lake, yummy BBQ and throw a frisbee, kick a ball! :-)
