A Züri-Oberland tour on less-known paths, but with one highlight after another. It starts with the worth-seeing sculpture garden. Immediately afterwards, you hike through the Wildbach ravine with several waterfalls. As soon as you are out of the ravine, you pass the Ringwiler Weiher and then head up

A beautiful spring hike led me partly along the Ämtlerweg from Knonau through the Maschwander Allmend to the Reuss, always accompanied by the hazy panorama of the inner-Swiss mountains. The Reuss riverside path mostly runs either on the dam or through the foreland and now, with very little foliage, offers

After a conference, I took advantage of the good weather window for a zigzag tour starting from Tössegg. The footbridge over the Töss is open, but it still looks quite battered. From Tössegg, a very great staircase path leads up to Wagenbrächi, currently through a sea of wild garlic. I then treated myself

Today I ventured into the Reppisch Valley, a place I'm not very familiar with. I was pleasantly surprised!



Nature is already quite advanced, teeming with early spring flowers (which I love) and wild garlic.



While the Honeret isn't particularly high, at only 581 meters above sea level, it offers a genuine

I was able to take the day off very spontaneously today and enjoy the wonderful panoramic view. I chose the Wisenberg Tower, which has been on my wish list for quite some time.



A path leads from Läufelfingen via Homburg Castle to the Wisenberg. The castle ruins have been restored, are well-secured, and

I really wanted to go snowshoeing again. That's not so easy at the moment; the temperatures are far too high, and the avalanche risk shouldn't be underestimated. Thanks to a tip from Swiss Hiking Trails in their weekly hiking suggestion email, I came across the Stäfeli Trail. Luckily, the avalanche risk

With reasonably nice weather, I set out in search of the first signs of spring. There's already an astonishing variety of early bloomers – and I even encountered a bee.



The visibility was also good today.



It was a lovely little "following my nose" bike tour. Even though in February I'd actually rather

Longer days again, warm winds, and time for an earlier finish to work. Perfect conditions for a short hike just across the border. Strictly speaking, it also led through Swiss territory. About three steps 😉 From the Baltersweiler chapel, there's a wonderful view of the Alps when the Föhn wind is blowing

Two castle ruins, a palace, a ravine, a ford, fascinating cloud formations, beautiful paths, and plenty of peace and quiet. A truly delightful tour, inspired by @Werner 🚶‍♂️🚵‍♂️🚴‍♂️ (thank you!).



You can learn about the Altenburg ruins (one of the oldest stone castles in Switzerland) and Schleifenrain

After the sun finally chased away the fog and most of the clouds, I got my bike out of the cellar and just set off, riding along side streets and bike paths. The planned hour turned into a good hour and a half. Towards the end, the temperature wasn't very pleasant anymore.
