Lachen

The little town of Lachen nestles on the south shore of Lake Zürich in Switzerland, some 40 kms south east of Zürich itself in the canton of Schwyz.

Lachen remains a peaceful place. Its tranquil location between the placid waters of the upper lake and the foothills of the Schwyz massif to the south make it a popular sailing base for locals as the yachts moored in its small harbour bear witness. It is off the main tourist track but in many ways it represents so much of what is beguiling to foreigners about Switzerland. It has retained much of its old character and yet is a modern town; it has excellent road and rail links and yet has an unhurried air.

As of 2006, the population was 7000.

Lachen is also the German word for laugh or laughter.
