Such a lovely spot with a peaceful view over the lake. If you’re in a hurry, it’s worth a quick stop just to take it all in. But if you’ve got time, sit down by the statue on the wooden benches—it’s calm, quiet, and kind of magical. It’s one of those places where you can just breathe, think, or do nothing at all.

Visited the Ganymed Skulptur at Bürkliplatz recently, and it’s truly a gem by Lake Zurich! This striking bronze sculpture by Hermann Hubacher captures the mythological shepherd boy Ganymede and Zeus (as an eagle) in such a dynamic way—his outstretched arm reaching for the sky is mesmerizing. The setting on the Bürkliterrasse is perfect, with stunning views of the lake and Alps in the background. It’s a peaceful spot to sit, reflect, and snap some photos. A must-see if you’re exploring Zurich’s art and history!

Amazing sculpture in the backdrop of the lake and the amazing views. Lovely spot. Very picturesque, clean and lovely! Must visit! We got down from the tram right here.

Beautiful place to relax, to meditate, to rest simply enjoying the shadows plays cosily sitting on one of the numerous banks on the slightly elevate above the traffic place, like a scene where you are.

Stone’s throw from the ferry terminal where the cruises are. You can walk straight down from HB to this area. Where the statue is, there’s an amazing view of the lake and the architecture framing the body of water. When I went it had rained so the fog obstructed most of the view. Kinda gave it a supernatural-ish vibe though. Wish I snapped more photos. Super convenient area for cruises to locations further down the lake. Cruises depart every 30 minutes and tickets can be purchased on board! - broke college kid

Burkiplatz provides you a front row seat to view the beauty of Lake Zurich. The statue of the young boy Ganymed asking the Eagle to take him to the sky/ heaven provides a mystic feeling to the setting. At Burkliterrasse you feel the serenity of Lake Zurich, the calmness of the Alps far and beyond, and the elegance of the structures that border the lake. The Swans, Coots and the Ducks on the lake gives you a sense of reality and keeps you hooked to the mesmerizing natural beauty. Ideal settings for winding down and enjoying the nature.
