Lake Geneva (Lehman) is the largest in Europe. The water in it is clean, but very cool: you can swim only in July-August. Beaches are herbal and platform. In general, tourists are attracted not so much by the beach as by pure air, by the warm climate (in the summer up to +32 .. + 36 ° C, while the heat does not feel) and a spectacular combination of subtropical vegetation and snow-capped peaks.
In the vicinity of Lake Geneva There are also several well-known private medical institutions offering the most advanced and diverse therapeutic techniques, as well as the picturesque Chillon Castle
Located to the east of Geneva, this largest lake in Western Europe is often compared to a huge mirror, lying Among the French-speaking canton de Vos from the north and France from the south. Why a mirror? Because the waters of Lehman often remain perfectly calm throughout the day, reflecting as a mirror every little bush and house on the shore.
