Public transport is provided by the VBZ transport company by the bus line 32 to Holzerhurd stop or bus line 61 to Mühlacker stop. as well as by the ZVV S-Bahn line S6 towards Affoltern train station.

History and description 
"Chatzesee" is the Swiss German name of the lake that is a remnant of the Linth glacier, in fact two small idyllic lakes which are connected by an artificial canal. The surrounding fens are the habitat for rare plant communities and a variety of animals, and are classified as a protected area; rubber boats and air mattresses are therefore not allowed. The bathhouse at the so-called lower lake interrupts the otherwise dense reed beds and allows the restricted public access to the water. Equipped with an appropriate infrastructure, lawns with shade trees, barbecue areas and a children's playground, the beach is very popular because the entrance is free.
