The cycleway around the Lake of Greifensee is in great condition every with a very smooth asphalted surface and no potholes anywhere. There are some disadvantages to this cycleway which is in the form of too many cyclists, rollerbladers, walkers, rollerskiers and runners on the weekend. If you want to avoid the crowds make sure you are on the route before 10:00 on the weekend to avoid having to wait at traffic jams along the way. There are also many opportunities to stop at the cafés and eateries along the route.
