Thalwil / Dorfkern

When the weather takes a turn in Thalwil's charming Dorfkern, there's no need to retreat indoors with a sigh; instead, let the rain inspire an adventure-filled day. Start by delving into medieval history at Kyburg Castle, where the echoes of knights and nobility transport you to another era. For a unique culinary experience, head to Zurich and dine at the world’s oldest vegetarian restaurant or savor a meal at Blindekuh, where eating in the dark heightens your taste senses. Immerse yourself in the tranquil beauty of the Botanical Garden of the University of Zurich, a perfect retreat for relaxation. If art beckons, the FLATZ Museum's special exhibition offers a contemporary twist. Cap off your day with a cozy evening indulging in raclette or fondue with friends, or challenge them to a game of billiards, letting the clatter of balls provide a rhythmic end to a perfectly active day.

If you find yourself with a day off in Thalwil, there are countless delightful activities to fill your time and inspire your senses. Start your morning by witnessing the breathtaking sunrise atop Uetliberg, a scene that will invigorate your spirit. As the day progresses, head to Lindenhof for a refreshing drink in its serene oasis. For those who love nature, a day spent walking and swimming at the stunning Greifensee is a must. Photography enthusiasts will adore capturing moments under the whimsical floating umbrellas. If urban exploration is more your style, spend the day discovering the charming cafes and unique shops along Josefstraße. For a bit of adventure, climb to Zurich's highest point at Waidberg or tackle the 187 steps of the historic Grossmünster. Thrill-seekers can try slacklining over the clear waters of the Limmat at Platzspitz or ascend the distinctive Friday Tower made of cargo containers. Finally, end your day with a relaxed stroll through the picturesque alleys and shops of Niederdorf, soaking in the vibrant local culture.
