Quiet, low-traffic region (especially if you drive along the eastern shore of the lake, on the west, the main road with more traffic through). Beautiful view. Possible resting place at the small beach at the northern end of the lake or at the eastern end of the southern bridge over the lake).

Etzel Pass

Highlight • Mountain Pass

In summer it is a popular destination for hikers, motorcyclists and cyclists. In addition to the highly recommended St. Meinrad restaurant, the pass also has the Etzel Chapel, which was first mentioned in the 13th century. The pass is on the famous Way of St. James and, when the weather is nice, you can see, among other things, the Rigi and Mount Pilatus on the southwestern horizon.

"Luegeten View" of Lake Zurich

Highlight • Viewpoint

Below the Luegeten you have an incredibly beautiful view over Lake Zurich, the Seedamm and the two islands of Ufnau and Lützelau. Unfortunately, the restaurant has been closed for about 3 years, apparently due to internal disputes...
