Kirchweghöchi Trail

Highlight • Trail

Here you are in the biker Eldorado! You can go up and down almost everywhere, the coolest thing I find is the Eggwald trails towards Jona. Limitless pleasure!

View of Lake Zurich and the Alps from Farneralp

From the Chrinnen car park, a steep concrete track, then a short forest road and finally a gravel road to Farneralp with a restaurant and a beautiful view (viewpoint just above the restaurant!).

Short walk around the surrounding area. At this altitude almost everything is dry again.

Beautiful round with some trails of varying difficulty (Kretan Trail, Eggwald Trail, Bannholz-Wiesentrail, Gibler Tobel, steeper Wiesentrail Diemberg, Diemberg-Chraueren, Gratwegtrail, Ho Chi Minh Trail). I didn't ride from Chrinnen to the Farner with many hikers and e-bikers.

@A. Villiger
Hey Tony
I allowed myself today to follow your tour from the day before yesterday. Thanks for the template!
Was a nice tour, with a great view, even if the distant view of the mountains was unfortunately not optimal.
The entry (or rather descent) into the Gibler Tobel was too steep for me, I prefer to push it …

Short but quite intense round (Schweizmobil 980 m) before the rain. Steep climb to the Farner, down again Rtg Goldingertal, then back on long trails through the Zilwald, Eggwald and Jonerwald.

Because of the expected heat, I only did a short tour today. Uphill partly on asphalt, downhill almost all on trails, forest and field paths.
On the way down from Farner I tried a new route ("Guntliberg Trail" km 16.6 to 19.2), which is scenically beautiful and isolated, but in some parts not ideal for the bike (short steep sections …

one of my standard tours, up a lot on asphalt (and some gravel, forest paths), down several, sometimes longer trails (S1 and S2, individual places S3). Between Diemberg and Chraueren, the meadow trail is about 100 m long with felled trees, but can easily be avoided.

We set off in the afternoon, but it soon got darker and quite chilly. This autumn we were in the snow for the second time (the first time was in mid-September, MTB Chamanna Saluver and Lej Alv, Engadin). We didn't see a single biker on the way.

February 24, 2023,Runde Goldinger Tal

Enjoyed the nice weather again today before the cold front comes tomorrow. On well-known paths up to the Farner Alp, via the Chrinenberg downhill trail down into the Goldinger Tal to Atzmännig. Out of the valley towards Goldingen and from there everything down via the Zilwald and Kirchweghöchi trails towards Rapperswil. Short but crisp Türli, because I was already in …
