Things to do
- Tobelweiher: A walk to the Tobelweiher is worthwhile in any case. In about 15 minutes you can reach the small cosy pond with a barbecue area in the middle of the forest. Listen to the murmur of the creek and the twittering of birds or, if you are a climbing enthusiast, visit the small cave above the rock wall.
- Lake Pfäffikon: Lake Pfäffikon can be reached in about 30 minutes on foot. Enjoy a cool bath and delicious ice cream at Pfäffikon's public swimming pool or the Auslikon lido. A walk around the lake and a visit to the nature centre will give you an insight into the world of flora and fauna.
- Rosinli Mountain: Experience a varied landscape on a three-hour hike to Rosinli Mountain before you stop at the restaurant at the top where you can enjoy the fantastic view over Lake Pfäffikon.
