Rapperswil Peninsula


The Rapperswil Peninsula is a peninsula in Rapperswil-Jona in Lake Zurich. To the northwest, the Kempratnerbucht is situated. To the south, the Seedamm causeway and the Holzbrücke Rapperswil-Hurden link the opposite shores of Lake Zurich and the Obersee, respectively.
Kapuzinerkloster Rapperswil, Rapperswil Castle and partially the Altstadt of the city of Rapperswil are located on this rocky peninsula. In Swiss Standard German, it is called Endingen on its western lower side, Lindenhof on its western hilltop, and Herrenberg on its eastern hilltop.
Although it is a peninsula, neither the name "Rapperswil Peninsula" nor the corresponding German terms Rapperswiler Halbinsel or Halbinsel von Rapperswil are commonly used.
