Treaty between the Cantons of Zurich and St. Gallen concerning the determination of the state border on Lake Zurich near Rapperswil
Statutory Text (4 Articles)
The state border between the two cantons of Zurich and St. Gallen on Lake Zurich near Rapperswil runs from the outermost landmark No. LXI on the shore of the lake between Kempraten and Feldbach in a straight line to a point 100 feet west of the Löwenstein.
On the occasion of the establishment of this boundary line, the Canton of St. Gallen undertakes the obligation, in the greatest possible agreement with the Canton of Zurich, to make all those arrangements which may be conducive to the improvement of fishing in Lake Zurich.
Through joint steps by both Cantons, the high Canton of Schwyz shall be moved
a. to recognize that the state border separating this Canton from the Cantons of Zurich and St. Gallen, in an east-to-west direction, intersects the point west of Löwenstein designated in Art. 1, so that the borders of all three Cantons converge at this point;
b. to establish fishing regulations for the part of Lake Zurich belonging to its territory, which, as far as possible, align with the principles to be established for the Cantons of Zurich and St. Gallen for fishing in Lake Zurich.
After the definitive demarcation of the boundary, a landmark shall be affixed at the boundary point specified in Article 1, at the expense of all three cantons, which shall remain visible even at the highest water level.
