Linth Canal

Highlight (Segment) • Cycleway

Pretty straight and a bit monotonous to cycle, but the view towards Glarus makes up for it.

Linthebene

Highlight • Natural

The Linthebene is a level area for easy tours. With the Linthkanal, where there are plenty of resting places and in the summer there are enough sunbathing areas, which invite you to swim and linger. With the restaurants Grynau, and stars is also sufficient for the thirst and hunger. With views of Glarnerland and Speer, a tour in this area offers wonderful views. Only recommended.

Linthwerk Hänggelgiessen

Highlight • River

Meadow landscape, because the Linth Canal no longer has such a deep channel here (artificially created) Partly nature reserve, partly accessible. Very beautiful and impressive.

Highlight • River

Very nice in the area of Ziegelbrücke - Weesen, a bit monotonous down below. No traffic on the gravel road.

Always nice view from the bridge! On both sides of the bridge there are bike paths / walking paths along the Linth Canal, to Ziegelbrücke resp. up to the confluence with the Obersee, everything perfectly flat.
