Intro
An excursion to the Zürichsee lake is always well worthwhile. The stretch from Horgen to Wädenswil affords particularly enchanting views over this popular body of water and the opportunity to enjoy a superb panorama.
Description
The route begins in Horgen and leads along the lake shore past the small boat station. Shortly afterwards you reach a pretty, compact park. The route continues along the well-kept promenade with breathtaking views of the glistening waters. After a while you reach an attractive wooden walkway leading past tall reed beds.
The stately Au Castle, set majestically on a peninsular, presents a splendid highlight. The naturally formed Ausee lake is also located here. The extensive lakeshore meadows serve as a bathing paradise in summer. The route then leads along a stretch overland until you reach the lake once more.
Soon you reach Wädenswil and continue following the lake shore as far as the spacious boat station. A wonderful spot where you can watch the comings and goings of the boats and people from the shade of trees. Various places along the entire route offer the opportunity to rest and relax, whether on a park bench or at a restaurant.
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
