ジル湖の湖・トップ9

素晴らしい車のない道。湖の反対側の道路をたどるよりも良い。

Lake Sihl is the largest artificial reservoir in Switzerland, covering 11 square kilometres. The roads that circle it are perfect for driving in a beautiful, picturesque setting.

From 1932 to 1937, Etzelwerk AG built the Etzelwerk pumped storage power plant for joint use by the SBB and the Northeast Swiss Power Plants (NOK). Since 1987, the SBB has been the sole owner of Etzelwerk AG. The plant consists of the reservoir (Sihlsee) created in the high valley of the Sihl, northeast of Einsiedeln, the pressure tunnel and the pressure pipeline, as well as the power plant near Altendorf on the upper Lake Zurich. The dam has a volume of 28,000 cubic meters. On the right-hand side of the wall is the tunnel inlet with a valve chamber, from where a 2,900-meter-long pressure tunnel leads to the surge tank. After the surge tank, the pressure tunnel splits into two pressure pipelines, each 2,200 meters long. The drive water reaches the turbines in the Altendorf power plant through these. The pump turbines enable flexible use of the power plant. If necessary, water can be pumped from Lake Zurich into Lake Sihl.

Beautiful round around the Sihlsee. Depending on the year and time of day with more or less motorized vehicles.

Nice section around the lake

The route around Lake Sihl is a classic, especially for racing cyclists, but also for mountain bikers. Very scenic, on the east side of the lake there is significantly less traffic than on the west side.

Very little traffic, although the road is perfectly developed.

much nicer than the main street
