Greifensee

Greifensee is a small lake 20 km to the northeast of Lake Zurich and the city of Zurich. It lies approximately at co-ordinates {{coor dm|47|21|N|8|41|E}}. As the second largest lake in the Canton of Zurich (Lake Zurich being the largest), it is about 6 km long and 1.6 km at the widest point. The Aabach is the main supplying river. A ship connects small towns lining the water, Maur, Nieder-Uster, Fällanden, Mönchaltorf and the town Greifensee. It is the scene of the Greifensee-Lauf, a semi-marathon around the lake held every year.
