Worthwhile goal - no matter what the season. There is a good restaurant upstairs and the view from the tower is breathtaking.

Well-known, vielbefahrener trail in the forest, mostly liquid, 2 short steep slopes, otherwise liquid up and down. In between nice little rest area with a view of the mountains and on Obersee.

Hummelberg Forest Trail

Highlight (Segment) • Trail

Initially, a short, steep climb to the Hummelberg (from Jona), then very nice, relatively. short single trail with roots, ups and downs and a few small jumps at the end.

Steep ascent from Hinwil. Nice little pass with a view of the Tössbergland on one side and the Zurich Oberland with Pfäffikersee and Greifensee on the other

Incredibly great panoramic view of Lake Zurich/Obersee. Every effort that this small but beautiful mountain requires is worth it! What is also great is that the Bachtel can be reached via various routes. Even though the view from the mountain is already great, the observation tower should definitely be climbed. A head for heights is an advantage. However, since you can't see the ground below because of the steps and the plateaus, it is also relatively suitable for those who are not afraid of heights (I can report this from my husband's experience) When I'm in the area again, I'll hike up the Bachtel again using a different route.

The "official" trail of the "Chrüzegg" Switzerlandmobile route leads through the Eggwald. Practically everything S1, smooth to drive, with always beautiful vantage points.

Except for a short stretch at the lower end, the trail is wide and easy to drive throughout. It can easily be ridden in both directions with a bio or e-bike.
