House of Dogs

This upmarket pet store offers high quality, handcrafted leather goods for your all your dog’s needs. From traditional Appenzeller dog collars to harnesses adorned with Swarovski crystals.

Allmend Brunau

Although not specifically a dog park, the wide open space of this recreation ground is a great place for your dog to run around. The park is not enclosed so your dog may require a leash. There’s also access to the river if you need to cool off on a hot day. There’s a nice 4km nature walk that goes through the nature reserve and along the banks of the river.

Fondue Tram

Indulge in a delicious cheese fondue as you watch the city lights pass by. This fantastic vintage tram travels through the city centre and offers glimpses of the lake as you pass over the Quaibrücke. Dogs can get on the fondue train with a half-priced ticket.
