The Töss Valley circular tour lets you discover the Zurich Oberland at its best. The cycle path along the Töss is one of the best developed cycle paths in the canton of Zurich. The route is particularly enjoyable in summer, when the Töss is pleasantly cool.

View of Speck Airfield

Highlight • Viewpoint

Speck Airfield is a nice little hobby airfield. A restaurant with a terrace invites you to linger and there is also a nice playground for the little ones. You can also have a picnic on the lawn next door.

Radweg entlang der Töss

Highlight (Segment) • Cycleway

Beautiful cycle path directly along the Töss. There are also benches with a view of the water where you can take a break if you just want to take in the nature in peace.

Through the fields

Highlight • Natural

Here you drive past fields in bloom. The sunflowers are simply gorgeous, but the yellow rapeseed is also a feast for the eyes. In general, you have a great view from up here all the way to the Alpine peaks.

The ride along the Töss is nice but the rest of the ride features a lot of riding with traffic or on cycle paths that are on side walks, and a fair number of times you have to join busy / fast moving roads.
