Exciting history about Hegi Castle, and the entire surrounding area is ideal for a tour by bike or on foot.

After the easy ride along the Töss, the climb to Kyburg begins. A steep 160 meters in altitude! But the effort is definitely worth it, because the castle of the same name, which was first mentioned in 1027, sits at the top of the rocky spur. If you don't feel like taking a history lesson, you can take a break in one of the restaurants or look forward to the upcoming, rapid descent.

Closed in winter, but still nice to see. From here you also have a beautiful view and the Schlosshalde (inn) next to it is also recommended.

It's worth getting up early - the sunrise is worth seeing

Very well-preserved castle, in the annex there is an inn

Roman fort Irgenhausen Small fort Irgenhausen The small fort Irgenhausen is a Roman fortification in the area of Irgenhausen, an outpost of the municipality of Pfäffikon in the Swiss canton of Zurich. The fort formerly secured a connecting road that led from Kempraten near Rapperswil-Jona to Vitudurum (Oberwinterthur). It was part of the rear line of the late antique Danube-Iller-Rhine Limes. Its fortifications were built during the final phase of Roman rule over the provinces along the Rhine, Iller and Danube. Built in the 4th century, the fort was probably abandoned at the beginning of the 5th century. The north wall was later used to obtain material for the construction of a factory until the site was acquired by the Antiquarian Society in Zurich, which put a stop to the stone theft. At the end of the 19th century, it carried out extensive excavations and restored or partially supplemented the remaining walls. Among other things, the hypocaust of a farm (villa rustica) from the 1st to 3rd century was discovered under the southern corner tower. The complex is now one of the best preserved forts in eastern Switzerland. Text/ Source Wikipedia https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kleinkastell_Irgenhausen

You have to earn the Kyburg, there are quite a few meters to climb up to the castle. But a visit is worthwhile. You can also walk around the castle (on foot) on the fortress tour directly along the wall.

Proper castle by the wayside
