There are three bicycle routes around Lake Zurich, Switzerland. You can cycle around the lake that’ll be a distance of around 90 kilometres. This distance is quite large for someone who isn’t used to cycling, so this route is mainly preferable to experienced cyclists.

For an easy ride, you can choose the Cycle Route 66, which goes from Zurich to Rapperswil through picturesque vineyards and neighbourhoods along the right bank of the lake. There’s another route, known as Heart Route or Cycle Route 99, which extends from Einsiedeln to Rapperswil.

Visit the Islands

Right in the middle of Lake Zurich, the largest island in Switzerland, Ufenau Island lies. The island has been most probably there since the year 965. The island is owned by Einsiedeln Abbey and is home to Zu den Zwei Raben restaurant, St. Martin’s Chapel, St. Peter and Paul Church, and abbey-owned vineyards. You can swim near the island, but you’ll enjoy your time on the island due to the presence of the delicious food-serving restaurant and the medieval churches.

Right next to Ufenau Island, there’s another island named Lützelau Island. It is smaller than the Ufenau Island, but it’s also worth a visit. The word Lützelau means small in German. It is around a 300 m long nature reserve with a campground, a restaurant, and a few spots for lighting fire. Unlike Ufenau Island, swimming is allowed here.

Eat in a Lakeside Restaurant
