A water wheel has recently been installed in the Glatt below the Glattfelden train station. This should allow the meadows to be irrigated again as they used to be. The wheel has a diameter of 5.5 m, is 2 m wide and weighs 5 t (source: wasserradbau.ch/wasserraeder/glattfelden/).

Eglisau-Glattfelden Hydroelectric Power Plant

Highlight • Monument

The Eglisau power station is an old hydroelectric power station with a boat lock. The power of the water is very noticeable here. The power station can also be visited in groups on request. Quiet border crossing, also suitable for walks to Switzerland or Germany.

Railway viaduct near Zweidlen

Highlight • Bridge

This ride was just a training ride for the big tours that are soon ahead of me. From the power station near Eglisau begins the Glatt - tour that leads to the Greifensee, which is very easy, beautiful without gradients, leads past the airport area, via Dübendorf and so you get to the very beautiful, quiet Greifensee. If you then still have enough power, you can continue Uster back to Bülach, Eglisau. The pleasant thing about it is that there are practically no inclines.
