Even in the densely populated Limmat Valley in the west of the city of Zürich, you can enjoy surprisingly cozy hiking. For example, along the renatured Limmat in many sections.

Saturday, temperature around 0 degrees, dry, high fog: These are the external conditions for today's hike. To quickly generate some warmth, I start off quite briskly and soon realize that I am not alone. There are still many runners out - ideal training conditions.

Wine tasting at Fahr MonasteryDespite its numerous traffic routes, the urban-adjacent Limmattal between Höngg and Oetwil still offers space for impressive vineyards. The south-facing exposure of the valley slopes, protected by the Altberg-Gubrist ridge, creates ideal conditions in combination with growth-promoting molasse soils for some of the most renowned Zurich wines. In the rather industrially shaped Zurich agglomeration, this vineyard landscape acts like a green oasis, appreciated by both hikers and wine connoisseurs.

Varied route with many beautiful spots to enjoy. Also ideal for hiking with a dog, as there are many opportunities to let off steam and, of course, plenty of water along the way. Those who hike without provisions have enough options here to refresh themselves on the way.

Contrasting river hike through the Agglopark Limmattal to ZurichAfter its outflow from Lake Zurich, the Limmat connects the two cantons Zurich and Aargau, or the two cities Zurich and Baden. Along the way, it flows through one of the most densely populated areas in all of Switzerland. Nevertheless, a hike along the Limmat is not only interesting from a cultural-historical perspective. Rather, it surprises with a constant change between lively areas and quiet riverbank landscapes, where traffic and hustle suddenly seem far away. Particular attention should be paid along the way to the former Cistercian monastery Wettingen and the Fahr monastery, where about 20 Benedictine nuns still live today.
