Nature reserve

Highlight • Natural

It's worth walking a little further in Wädenswil to the Giessen peninsula (still part of Wädenswil). If you cross Seestrasse there, four minutes later you will find yourself in front of the second highest waterfall in the canton of Zurich: the Giessbachfall falls in the middle of the forest - just a few meters away from a residential area!

Bathhouse on the Au Peninsula

Highlight • Monument

The first bathhouse was built around 1895. The wooden construction with two cabins is connected to the shore by a footbridge and is listed in the inventory of the monument preservation. The construction files show that today's boathouse was probably built in 1923 and is part of the cultural heritage of the Au Peninsula. From 2021 to 2022 the entire boathouse was restored at great expense.

Au Peninsula Viewpoint

Highlight • Viewpoint

Nice terrace! Also: From here it's worth taking a short walk to Haab-Inseli, a real mini-island in Lake Zurich, a few meters from the shore.

View of Lake Zurich from the wooden pier in Wädenswil

Highlight • Viewpoint

Take the Seeuferweg from Wädenswil for a delightful lakeside hike that will bring you closer to the serene waters of Lake Zurich. This well-maintained wooden pier follows the shore for a short distance, offering uninterrupted views of the sparkling lake, dotted with charming sailboats and framed by rolling hills.
