시가스터 주변 최고의 반려견 동반 하이킹 & 워킹 코스

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).

Two red roses adorn the Rapperswil coat of arms 24,000 roses that make Rapperswil a rose city Two red roses adorn the Rapperswil coat of arms. However, Rapperswil has earned its reputation as a rose city thanks to the 24,000 roses that bloom from May to October in four rose gardens and other areas. On this tour, guests will be guided through many of these rose gardens. One of them is the fragrant rose garden in the heart of the city: Here, over 1,500 special roses bloom with 75 different scents. Some smell of honey, others of pears, and still others of lemons. A small sign with each rose's name in standard and Braille reveals its name. Of course, this tour also ensures that as many of the other 22,500 roses in Rapperswil as possible are discovered.

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.

A fantastic view and a great starting point for hikes. The parking lot in the village center is highly recommended and not too expensive (ParkingPay app: 4.5 hours, approx. CHF 4.95).
