Very nice "Burehof-Beizli" to linger. For bikes there are extra parking spaces, even charging facilities for e-bikes are available as well as simple bike tools are ready. Culinary there is always something fine to snack on, and the drink selection is also large. Seating is available (under cover as well as outside). The "Beizli" is maintained with love, thank you very much for that.

The Reussbrücke connects Unterlunkhofen with Rottenschwil. There is a separate crossing for pedestrians and bikers. The crossing is single-lane for car drivers, but there are large parking lots on both sides and the Restaurant Hecht nearby (recommended for a culinary treat).

The sculptures are located along the "Freiämter Sagenweg" in the forest of Waltenschwil. It is partly almost mystical around all the different figures, which allow for fairytale-like and boundless fantasies ;). Since the sculptures are in the forest and thus provide shade, a trip during the summer holidays is an experience for young and old. Barbecue and seating areas are available in the vicinity.

A peaceful spot along the Reuss River, perfect for a relaxing break. The old iron bridge adds a historic charm, and the calm waters beautifully reflect the sky. There’s a comfortable bench where you can sit and enjoy the view, and a gravel parking area nearby makes access easy. Ideal for a short stop during a walk or bike ride.
