Tips from the Community
Very nice spot at the Egelsee, which invites you to swim in the summer. Barbecue and seating areas are available. Expect many visitors on weekends.

An impressive viewpoint with a magnificent panorama over the Limmattal valley to Zurich. In clear visibility, the view extends far beyond the city to the imposing backdrop of the Alps on the horizon. The interplay between the densely populated valley, green landscapes, and the mountain ranges rising behind them is particularly beautiful.

Beautiful view of the Reuss, whether going upstream or downstream. Right next to the bridge, there is a small sandbank that invites you to swim.

Ideal for a Sunday outing, on foot or by bike. Right next to the tower, the café "backparadies.ch" can be recommended (it's open on Sundays). Very close to the tower, there is a large fountain to refill the (bike) water bottles ;).

Actually, the Flachsee... is not really a lake but an expansion within the Reuss river. The Flachsee is about 300 meters wide and shows swamp landscapes on its banks, where water buffalo can sometimes be found. Smaller island groups have formed in the Flachsee (depending on the season/weather, they are more or less visible), where waterfowl breed and can be observed well from the shore.

Popular jumping platform directly on the idyllic Egelsee – in summer a real attraction for a quick cool-down or simply to watch.

The Hasenbergturm is climbed via 210 individually named steps – each bears the name of a sponsor or donor who supported the construction of the tower. At the top, an impressive 360-degree panoramic view awaits over the Mittelland to the Alps 🏔️.
