∙ 10y agoThere are many Swiss towns and cities which are also the name of lakes. For example (in each case the names are in language of the locality):
- Baldegg / Baldeggersee
- Biel / Bielersee (or: Bienne / Lac de Bienne)
- Brienz / Brienzersee
- Lungern / Lungerersee
- Murten / Murtensee
- Neuchâtel / Lac de Neuchâtel
- Sarnen / Sarnersee
- Sempach / Sempachersee
- Thun / Thunersee
- Zug / Zugersee
- Zürich / Zürichsee
The following are only the same as the name of the lake in English, not in the language actually spoken there:
- Constance / Lake Constance (German: Konstanz / Bodensee). Sometimes this is called Konstanz / Bodensee in English as well
- Geneva / Lake Geneva (French: Genève / Lac Lèman).
- Lucerne / Lake Lucerne (German: Luzern / Vierwaldstättersee)
