Tips from the Community
Ideal for a Sunday outing, on foot or by bike. Right next to the tower, the café "backparadies.ch" can be recommended (it's open on Sundays). Very close to the tower, there is a large fountain to refill the (bike) water bottles ;).

The Glatt riverbank path between Rümlang and the new Rohstrasse is currently closed due to the renaturalization of the Glatt river.

An old waterwheel that probably once powered a mill. Unfortunately, it only runs occasionally these days, when there's plenty of water.

From the large parking lot toward the Chly Rhy Auen nature reserve, the path is a good, stable dirt road, making it easy to ride, so encounters aren't a problem. It's only from the parking lot toward Koblenz that it narrows and becomes more challenging for bikers. A beautiful route that's fun in any season.
