Irchelturm Observation Tower

Highlight • Viewpoint

Beautiful view of the wine country and with a clear view of the Alps. The view compensates for the steep ascent by bike to the foot of the tower. For the hungry, it has two fireplaces and different seating.

Root Trail Zurich

Highlight • Trail

Starts relatively tame but gets steeper and steeper. Again and again jumps, which can be bypassed. Extremely slippery when wet wg. mud and roots! Trail then ends in the next village

Dättliker Downhill Trail

Highlight (Segment) • MTB Park

It is really uncomfortably slippery to impassable when wet in certain places, but it was a lot of fun after a few dry days. But it is rather demanding.
