Excursions (Zurich (Region))

In the historically important farmhouse on a vineyard dating from 1670, you will find testimonies to the past of the small town on the Rhine and to the bailiwick in Eglisau as well as to the history of shipping and fishing.

The Neeracherried is one of the last great low-moor bogs in Switzerland. Extending over 105 hectares it is a habitat for breeding-birds, among which some very rare species can be found. It is also an important resting place for myriads of migratory birds. Two observation huts and a permanent exhibition offer amazing insights into the life of birds.
