Winterthur Cycleways

Highlight • Cycleway

The city of Winterthur has really invested a lot in its infrastructure and one can see this immediately. Well marked cycleways which completely traverse the city from North to South and East to West. Cycleways are well marked. Even though there is some heavy traffic on some routes, the numerous radar robots keep traffic to a slow pace.

Kyburg Castle

Highlight • Castle

After the easy ride along the Töss, the climb to Kyburg begins. A steep 160 meters in altitude! But the effort is definitely worth it, because the castle of the same name, which was first mentioned in 1027, sits at the top of the rocky spur. If you don't feel like taking a history lesson, you can take a break in one of the restaurants or look forward to the upcoming, rapid descent.

View of Kyburg Castle

Highlight • Viewpoint

Caution - There is a steep descent to the Castle Kyburz but the best view of the castle is about halfway down the descent. The pavement is excellent, however once entering the village, slow down as there are paving stones and this will give you an unpleasant ride.
