You can't just ignore the Sihlwald forest as the starting point for this tour. Plan time to explore one of Switzerland's most important nature parks. The fascinating flora and fauna hold many surprises, such as amphibians, beavers, and rare mushrooms. If you're more into bird's-eye views, you'll also find several lookout points and towers here.
Then, the route continues along a wonderful route along the Sihl River to Zurich, mostly downhill. Even the youngest bikers can join in. Relaxed seclusion, good surfaces, and plenty of nature await you here. At the end, you can reflect on the day's impressions in beautiful Zurich.
