    After starting in Zollikon, you follow the road to Küsnacht. From there you ride through the Küsnachtertobel, an idyllic creek valley surrounded by dense forest. On your way to the Pfannenstiel, you first ride on asphalt before reaching the gravel sections. Once you have reached the highest point of the Pfannenstiel, the hardest part is done.

    After a short break at the Forchdenkmal, the climb to the Loorenkopfturm requires your lowest gear again, but after that the climbing is definitely over. Now it's only downhill back to the starting point – with a smile on your face.

    Author’s recommendation

    Along the way, you pass two particularly impressive towers. Take a short break and climb up to the platform to enjoy the view
