Cycling

On this loop around the lake, you can even let your kids take the lead, because as long as the water stays on the same side, you can't really get lost. A great experience for the youngest bikers.

Add in the observation towers, birdwatching, and picnicking on the shore, and you've got the perfect family day. By the way, you can also rent SUPs at Seehof Maur. If you plan a soaking wet break, you'll definitely have a big hit with the little ones.

Observation Tower at the Aabach

Highlight • Viewpoint

Depending on the time of year, you can watch different species of ducks resting in the nearby ponds. Ornithologists with binoculars or even a telescope are usually happy to give information! Parking for cars is available by the white willow tree just across the street!

Comfortable bike tour 😁. Various nice places to stay. Greifensee is worth seeing with the small lake facility and the Landenberg inn

Unfortunately, there was an accident. A fall in Fällanden and now a double pubic bone fracture requiring several months off.

Paul's (mis Velo) first somewhat larger tour, once around the Greifensee. We mercilessly overtook the hikers, cough, everyone else did the same to us. Swallowed a mosquito as a snack in between, notice: Muul zue bim drive! 😬

Hoi Burgi, that wasn't a tour, it was a test ride on the new e-bike. My wife and the boys "sniffed" me about the purchase. But that way I can also ride the tougher tours with you. So see you soon and best regards
