About Winterthur …
Winterthur is the sixth-largest city in Switzerland and has made the successful transition from an industrial city to a location for services and education. State-of-the-art technologies, innovative service ideas and an outstanding range of educational opportunities are on offer here along with an urban lifestyle and the small city idyll. 
A green belt encircles Winterthur with more than twenty idyllically situated municipalities, which make a crucial contribution to the attractiveness of living in Winterthur. Thus, people who prefer living in the countryside, but still want direct connection to the city, are well advised to live in one of the villages surrounding Winterthur. Every one of them has its own special charm, is well connected and has well-built infrastructure. The populace varies from a couple of hundred to more than 3 000 inhabitants. The city of Illnau-Effretikon lies halfway between the centres of Winterthur and Zurich. The region of Winterthur has a good mix of urban and rural qualities.
