Questo è un passaggio sotto le case lungo il fiume Limmat e si trova nel vecchio quartiere chiamato Schipfe molto importante nel Medioevo come punto di arrivo di battelli commerciali, sede di cantieri navali e di manifatture. Ora è un luogo delizioso, tranquillo, dove si possono trovare prodotti dell'artigianato e fare belle passeggiate romantiche.

la statua che ospita il piccione commemora la resistenza opposta dalle donne di Zurigo contro Alberto I di Germania nel 1291. Oggi in pieno centro, Lindenhof corrisponde alla antica urbanizzazione di Turicum, risale all'epoca dell'imperatore romano Valentiniano I (364-375) la costruzione in questa zona di un castello che doveva servire a difendere la stazione doganale contro le incursioni dei popoli germanici provenienti da nord. Ora c'è una piazza alberata, luogo idilliaco da dove si gode una bellissima vista della città, grazie al fatto che si trova su un'altura sulla sponda sinistra del Limmat.

vista dal quartiere Schipfe lungo il Limmat Il fiume Limmat divide Zurigo in due parti. Da una parte il centro storico e dall'altra il nucleo finanziario. E tutto questo appena dopo essere uscito dal bellissimo lago Zürichsee (Lago di Zurigo). Nella foto sottostante si ha la visione a 180°, cioè verso il lago.

vista dal quartiere Schipfe lungo il Limmat (là in fondo i campanili della Grossmuenster). Questo quartiere, che risulta alle spalle della foto, era già importante nel Medio Evo, approdo per le imbarcazioni commerciali, era anche un centro della industria della seta e per la costruzione delle barche. Ora è un posto tranquillo e molto gradevole, con negozi di artigiani, boutique e squarci pittoreschi. In PiP la visione a 180 gradi sulla sinistra.

vista dal quartiere Schipfe lungo il Limmat The Limmat is a river in Switzerland. The river commences at the outfall of Lake Zurich, in the centre of the city of Zurich. From Zurich it flows in a north-westerly direction, after 35 km reaching the river Aare. Historically, the Limmat was an important navigation route. In the twelfth and thirteenth centuries, voyages from Zurich to Koblenz are recorded. In 1447, the Emperor Frederick III granted the privilege of free navigation on the Limmat and on the Rhine to Zurich. Because of the current, navigation was typically downstream only, with the barges being sold on arrival. Today, the Limmat is navigable for much of its length by small craft only, with many of the hydroelectric power plants incorporating boat lifts. The traditional boat type used on the river is the weidling, a flat-bottomed vessel that is usually 10 metres (33 ft) long. The uppermost stretch of the river through the centre of Zurich is navigable by rather larger vessels, albeit limited by low bridges.

The Fraumünster Church in Zurich is built on the remains of a former abbey for aristocratical women which was founded in 853 by Louis the German for his daughter Hildegard. The abbey was dissolved on 30 November 1524 in the course of the reformation and the monastery buildings were destroyed in 1898. Today, the church belongs to the Swiss Reformed Church and is one of the three main churches of Zürich, the other's being the Grossmünster and St. Peter's church. Very beautiful the new stained glass windows in the choir by Marc Chagall. (it's forbidden to take photos in the church, they sell their images so I put here a post card as an example) Do not use any of my images on websites, blogs or other media without my explicit written permission.
