The Aabach Bridge, a striking Heimatstil building, was built in 1917 by W. Wenk and Joh. Müller. Old sayings are carved on the beams.
Work on the renovation of the Aabach Bridge in Schmerikon began at the beginning of September 2022. The complete superstructure of the bridge was lifted and hovered over the substructure, the sight was awesome.
The bridge was closed for half a year, it now shines again in new splendor.

Linth Canal

Highlight • River

On the Lindt Canal you can cross the Lindt plain away from road traffic and ride along the easy gravel road on the dam towards Lake Walen or Lake Zurich. The route is well signposted.

Linthebene

Highlight • Natural

The Linthebene is a level area for easy tours. With the Linthkanal, where there are plenty of resting places and in the summer there are enough sunbathing areas, which invite you to swim and linger. With the restaurants Grynau, and stars is also sufficient for the thirst and hunger. With views of Glarnerland and Speer, a tour in this area offers wonderful views. Only recommended.
