Seedamm Bridge over Lake Zurich

Highlight • Bridge

Quite a lot of traffic, but a beautiful view of Lake Zurich - naturally unsurpassed as a shortcut between Rapperswil and Pfäffikon.

Rapperswil Old Town and Lakeside Promenade

Highlight • Settlement

The historic town of Rapperswil offers many possibilities. The waterfront promenade is lined with bars and cafés and there is a lot of activity to see and be seen. The lake dam that separates the Obersee and the Untersee here also makes it possible to shorten laps around Lake Zurich.

Ascent to the Hulftegg

Highlight • Climb

I love this climb! During the weekdays there is very little traffic here and it is very enjoyable; however, on the weekend make sure you start the climb before 12:00 as there is a very heavy amount of motorbikes underway and this sometimes takes the fun and enjoyment out of the experience.

At the Hulftegg Inn, you can stop by and stay overnight in simple rooms. You can find more information on the inn's website: hulftegg.ch

Lichtensteig

Highlight • Settlement

The small town of Lichtensteig is certainly one of the most beautiful places in Eastern Switzerland. In 2023, it won the Wakker Prize for its efforts to preserve the beautiful town center. In the center, there are many manufacturers where you can fortify yourself for the next few kilometers on your bike.
