Seebad Utoquai

A wooden bathing structure on stilts off the Seefeld shore, in operation since 1890, with parts of the original swimming palace still standing among the later mixed and separated sections. The sunbathing decks are wide and face west across the lake toward the city and the Uetliberg, which is what fills them in the evening. Diving platforms drop straight into open water, and the surrounding lake carries a lot of sailing and pedalo traffic on summer afternoons.
