In the south of Winterthur you get a lot for your effort. The “pièce-de-résistance” of the round is certainly the climb to Kyburg. But even towards the end of the round, some highlights await you thanks to the foresight and quiet streets.

You leave Winterthur as quickly as possible and you will soon see the Kyburg towering on a hill above the Töss. The region's landmark has been an important landmark for 1,000 years and is always worth a visit.

After this initial effort, we continue over less steep climbs and on small roads. But you're not back yet, because with the departure from Brütten and the subsequent ride to the Dättnauer Weiher you can once again enjoy the perfect racing bike terrain to the fullest.

Kyburg Stutz – ZVC24

Highlight (Segment) • Climb

The first "pièce de résistance" in the elite men's road race at the 2024 UCI Road World Championships in Zurich. The climb is not long, but steep, and therefore invites an early attack. The approach through the forest gives you a false sense of security. But when you cross the Töss, the ramp immediately brings you back to the here and now. If you need to catch your breath after the exertion, you should take a look at Kyburg. It is worth paying a visit to the 11th century castle.

Kyburg Castle

Highlight • Castle

After the easy ride along the Töss, the climb to Kyburg begins. A steep 160 meters in altitude! But the effort is definitely worth it, because the castle of the same name, which was first mentioned in 1027, sits at the top of the rocky spur. If you don't feel like taking a history lesson, you can take a break in one of the restaurants or look forward to the upcoming, rapid descent.

Restaurant First

Highlight • Restaurant

Restaurant First is located at the top of the climb from Illnau to Kyburz on an excllent asphalted road. The restaurant offers excellent meals and a terrace with magnificent views of the Alps on a clear day. The food is excellent.
