Intro

The Lützelsee lake in the Zürcher Oberland provides the region with an extremely popular recreation area. The round tour starts in Hombrechtikon and leads through the lush green landscape alongside the sparkling lake.

Description

On leaving Hombrechtikon, you quickly reach open countryside and the Lützelsee lake with uninterrupted views over the water and rolling terrain. The easy path is lined on one side by lush green meadows and breathtaking long-distance views, on the other by enchanting vegetation along the river bank.

Light woodland offers some pleasant shade before your gaze once again sweeps over open scenery and you soon discover the first storks and their nesting spots. The Lützelsee lake is a veritable paradise for storks and countless birds have settled here in untouched nature. You can experience the everyday life of the birds in close up.

On the way you catch intermittent glimpses of individual houses and farms. There are also secluded spots to enjoy a break. At the end of the round tour, don't miss admiring the wonderful timber-framed house in the hamlet of Lutikon before you start your way home complete with newly won impressions of these wonderful experiences in nature.

An enjoyable tour includes the careful planning of the same. Please inform yourself in advance at the local information center about the route and weather conditions. Depending on the season and weather conditions, this route may be blocked or interrupted
