Linth Canal

Highlight • River

The Linth Canal connects Lake Walen and Lake Zurich. Just like the waterway, you can also stroll between the two, following its peaceful course.

Linth Canal

Highlight • River

On the Lindt Canal you can cross the Lindt plain away from road traffic and ride along the easy gravel road on the dam towards Lake Walen or Lake Zurich. The route is well signposted.
