Walensee -- Switzerland's Fjord-Like Lake Beneath the Churfirsten
The Walensee is a deep, fjord-like lake in eastern Switzerland, flanked by the dramatic 2,000-meter Churfirsten cliff wall on its south shore and home to the car-free village of Quinten -- a Mediterranean microclimate settlement reachable only by boat or on foot, making the Walensee one of the most visually striking and unexpectedly wild landscapes within an hour of Zurich.
