Auslikon is a village (de:Aussenwacht) of the municipality of Pfäffikon in the canton of Zurich in Switzerland. The village occupies a gently shelving terrace on the eastern shore of Pfäffikersee at about 567 m above sea level, approximately 2 km southwest of Pfäffikon and 25 km from central Zurich. Since 1948, both the shoreline and adjoining Ried have been protected under cantonal conservation orders, preserving the natural reedbeds and fen relics that encircle the lake. While historically a farming community with medieval row-farm origins, Auslikon today is primarily oriented toward recreation, featuring a popular lido, nature trails, and connections to nearby archaeological and ornithological sites.
