ヒンヴィール周辺のおすすめシティハイキング＆ウォーキング

A busy but beautiful route across the dam, partly with a wide cycle path. Unfortunately, the section from Hurden to Pfäffikon on the gravel path is now closed to cyclists (until the first accident happens on the main road).

Rapperswil Castle Rapperswil Castle is the landmark of the picturesque rose town on Lake Zurich. The castle, built at the beginning of the 13th century and later remodeled several times, can be seen from afar. It sits majestically above the town on the Lindenhof, a ridge that runs through Rapperswil. The renovated castle offers an atmospheric tour and takes visitors on a fascinating journey through its history. A highlight for children is sure to be the northern slope of the castle hill, where fallow deer have lived since 1871, a reminder of the legend of the town's founding. Just below the deer park, various play elements, such as a climbing wall and a speaking tube, invite children to play and let off steam. The exhibition inside the castle is open to visitors. In addition, the castle tower offers breathtaking views of the town and the lake.

Wooden Bridge Seedamm-Weg / Route Pfäffikon SZ - Rapperswil SG "A monumental project at the turn of the millennium," inaugurated on April 6, 2001. The narrow passage between Lake Zurich and Lake Obersee has always been used by local residents to cross the water. Until the Middle Ages, this was done by ferry. After Rapperswil was sold to the House of Habsburg-Austria in 1354, Duke Rudolf IV, the Wise, decided to replace the ferry service with a wooden bridge. Completed in 1358, the structure was 1450 meters long and rested on 546 oak piles. It was 12 feet (approximately 4 meters) wide and designed for pedestrians, carts, and livestock. Toll revenues financed construction and maintenance, with the residents of Rapperswil, the monks of Einsiedeln Abbey, and some farmers from the Schwyz territories of Höfe and March being exempt from the bridge toll. The daring structure was also exposed to various dangers. For example, it was repeatedly damaged or even destroyed during wartime events, and natural forces such as waves and storms also took their toll. For this reason, the planks were not nailed to the bridge structure, and there was no railing. This meant that a storm could not tear down the entire bridge; only the loose planks were blown into the lake. Therefore, crossing the bridge was not a safe pleasure for everyone. In 1939/51, the dam was renovated, and the bridges were reinforced to handle the increasing car, truck, and train traffic. A stroll on the dam's sidewalk had long ceased to be enjoyable. Therefore, the idea of a new pedestrian bridge in the form of the old wooden bridge seemed appealing. The new wooden bridge was inaugurated on April 6, 2001. It is the longest wooden bridge in Switzerland (841 m). It rests on a total of 233 piles.
