Many activities are organized by the town like Friday-market, cheese-festival, sport-events, music festivals etc. etc. The visitor centre nearby (2 min. by foot) helps you in planning the numerous activities you can do. Here some example for the summer: swimming in the lake (Stadtbad), SUP (we have 2 private boards), renting pedalos or motorboats, fishing, walking, hiking, biking, etc. etc. In even less than 1 hours distance by train you have the beautiful cities of Lucern, St. Gallen or Zürich, which is the biggest city in Switzerland (1/2 million ) with many cultural and historical attractions, night life, shopping: world wide famous "Bahnhofstrasse", sightseeings, lake and river etc. The train station in Rapperswil is in a walking distance of 5 min. and brings you with very good connections to all the places you like to see. For example if you like to go to the mountain to do hiking in the Alpes it takes you only between 30 to 90 min. by car or train, depending on the destination you choose.
If you arrive with your car, there is in 500m distance a public car parking space. (Due to the very little space in the historic town, there aren't any parkings.)
