The lake on both sides, the city and the castle make for a wonderful panorama. You also forget the very busy Seedammstrasse behind you.

Long cycle path, often separated from the main road, up the entire Tösstal from Sennhof to Gibswil. Quite busy.

A busy but beautiful route across the dam, partly with a wide cycle path. Unfortunately, the section from Hurden to Pfäffikon on the gravel path is now closed to cyclists (until the first accident happens on the main road).

Passing west of the beautiful Bettenauer Weiher (driving is prohibited all around).

Although the cycling path by a rather busy road the surrounding is very nice. The path is well kept. There are two or three side roads were cars cross the cycling path that you need to be careful about.

It's a beautiful bike ride. Plenty of parking is available (fee applies). Nearby is the Egg swimming pool, with a snack stand (sausage and sandwiches). The Greifensee and Lützelsee lakes are 48 km away, and are also suitable for children.
