Oh, wow! Thanks for the ID, Henk! Nice I got this one..even though the pics are not so good because it was from above the water :-)
It's certainly not Salamandra and not Triturus cristatus ...
For Ichtyosaura alpestris it should actually be quite dark colored... so again we end up with L. helveticus / vulgaris. ;-)
