Reppisch Felsenegg gravel circuit

As you start this gravel tour in the heart of Zurich, you probably can't even imagine how far the views you'll soon be enjoying will be. But soon after leaving the hustle and bustle of the city around the main train station, you turn onto the first forest passages and immerse yourself in nature kilometer after kilometer. On Switzerland Mobile Route 32 you follow the course of the Sihl river and change to Route 84 at Sihlhölzli. You now drive on well-developed forest roads towards Schlieren, Urdorf and finally to Birmensdorf. At Landikon you leave the cycle path again and climb the three hairpin bends to Ättenberg. Gravel paths then alternate with neighborhood streets. This section between Ättenberg and Aumüli is a little off the beaten path. The constant ups and downs on the chain of hills will definitely inspire you.

The last climb of this tour – up to Felsenegg – is once again tough. But it's definitely worth it! Once at the top, you can enjoy a fabulous view of Lake Zurich and the Höckler run. Mountain bikers have known this descent for a long time. At this point, the gravel bike doesn't go down the trail, but down the gravel road - on the direct route back to Zurich.
