I've got four free days in Europe in early February - what to do?

I'll be in the Zurich area for a week beforehand and would be interested in exploring other parts of Switzerland or surrounding countries. I'll most likely rely on public transportation, and at that time of year hiking (my usual go-to) will probably be out. I've been to Germany and Romania but nowhere else in the area and I'm open to pretty much anything.
