All cycling routes in Winterthur

The aroma of Maggi soup has long since evaporated in Kempttal, now the motorway affects eyes and noses. Green recreational areas only hint at the urban sprawl, Zurich’s unusually village-like districts have a friendly feel.

From Winterthur along the Töss and over wooded hills to Hulftegg, the pass into Toggenburg. Travelling through the rural, pleasantly remote area, it’s easy to forget that bustling Zurich city is only a stone’s throw away.

The Hörnli-Bike route through the Zürcher Oberland and Toggenburg leads through one of the loveliest pre-Alpine regions in Switzerland. It’s hard to believe that the big city is so close. Particularly attractive in times of autumn fog.

Over 200 years of industrial history have had a lasting influence on Switzerland, as the city of Winterthur clearly illustrates: the 20 km Industrial Bike Route connects 20 sites that bear witness to the industrial past.
