The landscape on Lake Zurich is not only one of the most sought-after residential areas in the world, but also a hiking area that offers a lot of enjoyment and surprising contrasts: historic towns and villages, riverside landscapes, forests, wild ravines and numerous restaurants for every taste. 12,000 years ago, the Linth glacier formed the basin of Lake Zurich into the landscape. The picturesque legacy of the ice was valued by the Romans, Alemanni and Habsburgs alike and has now become the most privileged residential address in Switzerland. The Lake Zurich circular route shows the diverse region at its best. Along the way there are historical towns and villages, castle parks and villa quarters, but also intact riverside landscapes, extensive forests and wild ravines to discover. On its ten stages, the Zürichsee-Weg offers further enjoyment: a number of restaurants, from simple country pubs to gourmet restaurants, as well as first-class wineries are literally on the wayside. There are also many sports and leisure facilities, museums, cinemas and stages. This is why hiking purists, nature, culture and history lovers, gourmets and athletes alike get their money's worth on the tour of the lake. The starting point of the hike can be freely selected from the ten stage locations. For once, the goal is not specific places, but the path and its pearls.
Its a beautiful way with trails, hravel and road. You can start everywhere you want. Clockwise or not. I Had sandwich, gels, waffles, hydration stuff with me.
