At the eastern end of Lake Zurich in Switzerland, a view on the lake includes mountains in low-lying mist and layers of clouds over them against a blue sky. A view similar to this might have presented itself when Goethe first went to Zurich and rowed a boat onto the lake. On the occasion of his first visit to Zurich and its surrounding, Goethe wrote the poem of "Auf dem See" which was later set to music by Franz Schubert.
