Grynau Bridge and view of the Linth Canal at Grynau Castle

Highlight • Bridge

Always nice view from the bridge! On both sides of the bridge there are bike paths / walking paths along the Linth Canal, to Ziegelbrücke resp. up to the confluence with the Obersee, everything perfectly flat.

Ruchweid

Highlight • Viewpoint

Nearby is a launch site for paragliders and a mountain restaurant. No motorcycle race like on Satteleggstrasse. The road is almost yours alone.

"Luegeten View" of Lake Zurich

Highlight • Viewpoint

Below the Luegeten you have an incredibly beautiful view over Lake Zurich, the Seedamm and the two islands of Ufnau and Lützelau. Unfortunately, the restaurant has been closed for about 3 years, apparently due to internal disputes...

View of Rapperswil's Old Town and Castle

Highlight • Viewpoint

Hike across a wooden walkway to the Hurden Peninsula. Or take a boat trip on Lake Zurich. Visit Knie's Children's Zoo. Or simply explore the old town on a walking tour.
