Rapperswil extends along the edge of Lake Zurich. Is a popular spot, for day trips because of its beautiful lakeside setting, charming historic town and the Knies childrens zoo. The water barrier connecting to Pfäffikon Schwyz begins in Rapperswil.
The town emblem of Rapperswil features two roses with thorns and opposing red stems on a silver backdrop. This emblem is inspired by the three rose coat of arms of the Counts of Rapperswil, which’s why Rapperswil is often referred to as the “Town of Roses.”
