Both source pages show a satelite pic of both lakes.

There is only two conclusions possible : The teaching of geography in Swiss school is not what it used to be or the Swiss don't regard the Netherlands as part of the Netherlands.

I also wonder wether Sweden doesn't have a lake or two that is bigger then Lake Geneva as well.

Stick to the fact guys !
