Burgerwald and Burgerweiher

Highlight (Segment) • Lake

Simple forest road through a very beautiful forest. Turns off to some smaller trails. The burger pond is still used today by the Uznaberg spinning mill to generate electricity. A scenic delight in all four seasons.

Always beautiful views from the bridge! On both sides of the bridge, there are cycle paths/walking paths along the Linth Canal, up to Ziegelbrücke or to the mouth of the Obersee, all perfectly flat.

Kaltbrunner Riet

Highlight (Segment) • Natural

The Kaltbrunner Riet lies like an island in the agricultural area of the Linth Plain. It is the last remnant of the swamps that once shaped the area between Lake Walen and Lake Zurich.
Several driving and hiking trails lead through Riet. Two accessible observation towers.

The landmark of Rieden is the neo-baroque parish church of St. Magnus, which was built between 1912 and 1914 by the architect Adolf Gaudy. It replaced a simple previous church built in 1769. (Wikipedia)
