The pond with a belt of reeds in the north of Winterthur is a perfect place to take a stroll, relax, play, or simply watch the world go by. Around the pond itself, you can watch the various bird species and admire the giant water lilies growing in the pond. Swimming is not permitted, however, due to its murky waters and dangerous depths.

The Schützenweiher, whose name is a reference to a former shooting range, is a popular recreational area for the locals in Winterthur, and an ideal getaway destination for both young and old.

Right by the pond, you’ll find the Restaurant Schützenhaus with a terrace at the water’s edge, as well as a campsite.
