Definitely not a section ideal for a racing bike. The road is made of ancient concrete with longitudinal and transverse ruts. When it was wet, I had to push the …

Sihlsprung Tunnel

Highlight • Structure

You can do the loop in many different ways, from Sihlbrugg or from Hirzel, it doesn't matter it's always nice and pleasant along the water even in summer. We do our rounds there at any time of the year.

First mentioned in 1267 as the Babenwag ford, and in 1326 as the bridge.

Relaxing hike along the Sihl. Very varied.
Warning: do not take the path down to the Sihl at km 7.45. Very dangerous ⚠️
The path is no longer maintained.

September 18, 2024,Von Sihlbrugg bis Sihlmatt an der Sihl entlang

Start and finish: Dukes Restaurant. It's only for guests, but you can still have something to eat after the hike.
The path always goes along the water, with a few small exceptions. And then there are two more tunnels. The first is scary, but the path goes past it on the left. And at the second one you can see …

April 17, 2022,Uferwanderung an der Sihl (Sihlbrugg - Sihlmatt - Sihlsprung - Sihlbrugg)

Varied hike along the wildly romantic Sihl from Sihlbrugg Dorf up to the Sihlmatt restaurant and back on the other side.

From Sihlbrugg it goes upstream on the right-hand side. The varied path leads directly along the banks of the Sihl. If you decide to take the (supposedly) shorter variant, you will cross the first tunnel at km 2.21. Here …

September 19, 2023,230919 🇨🇭 Von Schönenberg-Aesch nach Sihlbrugg-Dorf

A very beautiful hike in the Sihl Valley. The five tunnels along the way are exciting. There's also a beautiful wooden bridge to admire, and the Sihl River rushes alongside. Our tour ends in Sihlbrugg Village.
