In about 2.5 hours you can take a wonderful hike from the zoo along the Kobold Trail to Aspisee. I have rarely walked through such a pretty forest. In many places you feel like you are in a fairytale book. Lots of moss, special trees and wonderful winding paths. After a rainy day you run the risk of getting wet feet on some sections of the route ;-)

Down the valley through fields, forests and single trails you reach Madiswil. On Simon and Fränzi's organic farm you will find the unpacked organic fresh range directly from the farm or factory. The responsibility towards nature, people and animals is taken with great passion here. Whether vegetables and fruit, long-lasting dry products, dairy products, cheese or meat, everything is produced and sold here. https://www.bio-gut.ch https://bike-revolution.ch/gusto-rides/

The Aspisee is a small idyll in the middle of the forest. A small forest house with a fireplace and toitoi complete it.
