Türlersee is a small lake near Zurich, nestled in a quiet valley, making you feel far away from everything even though you are so close.

There is an easy loop trail around the lake, smooth enough for a stroller and short enough that a 5 year old can walk around it without too much complaining. As you walk around the lake, you’ll find a few picnic areas with few fire pits.

If you want to swim, there is an official badi at the south end of the lake and other unofficial entry spots where you can swim for free. It’s a lovely place for SUP as well, with glassy calm water and a peaceful atmosphere.

It’s also wonderful for winter walks, so beautiful with the snow.  If you live in the area, it’s a great choice in any season.

By car:

You can park at the campground, which charges a fee. You can also pay for the swimming badi as you enter the parking.

There are also two free parking areas near the lake. But there are only a few spots, so sometimes these are full. North parking at 47°16’33.9″N 8°30’10.6″E. South parking at Türlen 15, 8915 Hausen am Albis.

From the parking or bus stop, simply walk toward the lake. During summer, the campground is open and you must pay to enter the swimming area next to the campground. So follow the path outside this area as shown above to reach the trail. This is the only part of the lake that is restricted. Outside summer, you can wander freely in this area.
