Katzensee, Natural lake and protected area in Zürich, Switzerland.
Two interconnected lakes at 439 meters above sea level form Katzensee, featuring an 80-meter long bathing beach and surrounding walking paths.
The establishment of Katzensee as a protected natural reserve in 1991 marked a commitment to preserving local biodiversity and environmental resources.
The public bathhouse, opened in 1922, continues to serve as a gathering place for residents who embrace outdoor swimming and nature activities.
The lake offers free admission daily from 9:00 AM to 8:00 PM, with facilities including barbecue areas, children's playgrounds, and naturist zones.
Environmental regulations prohibit rubber boats and air mattresses in the lake to maintain the natural habitats of rare plant communities and animal species.
