This is a screenshot from my video.
The water is a horrible colour due to last night’s storms.
The European pond turtle (Emys orbicularis) is the only turtle species native to Switzerland

That is why they are very rare and protected.

Indeed
I hasten to add that i have never eaten turtle soup, nor would i ever. If i was in a restaurant with turtle soup on the menu i would immediately leave in disgust and if i was invited by a friend to a turtle soup dinner, that friendship would cease to exist.

You could always try mock turtle soup. I think it used to be quite popular at one time. Had to look up what it is. Oxford Dictionaries says it’s “imitation turtle soup made from a calf’s head”.
You’re not selling the idea very well!

Hey, you should market this as a tourist thing!
Swim with dolphins in Australia, swim with whale sharks in Mexico, swim with Orca’s in Canada, and now swim with turtles in the Rhine. @marton you have first-mover advantage!

Actually Oxtail.
And swim in Zurichs Limmat with lumps of shit.
Singular please, one turtle only.
That’s how rare it is!
Expats being disparaging about the locals is not a good look.
