A summary of hiking the compete Trail 84, the Zürichsee-Rundweg, a ten stage trail that starts in Bürkliplatz and loops around lake Zürich (including the Obersee).
-
Stage 10 (length 11 km, ascent 190 m, descent 320 m) is also the final stage of the Zürichsee-Rundweg.
-
Stage 9 (length 8 km, ascent 260 m, descent 150 m) took us from Meilen to Küsnacht.
-
We completed stage 8 – Stäfa to Meilen (length 12 km, ascent 340 m, descent 380 m).
-
Back on the trail with stage 7 of the Zürichsee-rundweg hike (length 14 km, ascent 380 m, descent 320 m). The panorama views on stage 7 were some of the best views so far.

I have returned to my quest to complete the Zürichsee-Rundweg with stage 6 – Schmerikon to Rapperswil. SAt only 11 kilometers and 70 meters of elevation gain, it was not a particularly challenging hike, but it did make for an excellent afternoon walk.
-
Woohoo! We made it through stage 5 of the Zürichsee-Rundweg Trail and we are now at the half-way point. At 23 km (ascent 420 m, descent 400 m), this stage was a bit of challenge and while it wasn’t my favorite stage so far, it was still pretty fun.
-
We completed Stage 4 – Richterswil to Pfäffikon. As I expected based on the stats (17 km, and an ascent 780 m and descent 760 m), this was the most challenging so far.
-
Stage 3 starts at the Horgen train station and goes along the lake shore down to the Richterswil train station. At 13 km, this trail is long enough to be a hike, but with only minimal elevation change it felt more like a very long stroll.
-
Stage 2 (length 12 km, ascent 260 m, descent 300 m) picks up where stage 1 left off in Adliswil and ends in Horgen on the shore of Lake Zürich.

Trail 84, the Zürichsee-Rundweg is a ten stage trail that starts in Bürkliplatz and makes a complete loop around lake Zürich (including the Obersee). I hope to do all ten stages, but for now I am starting with stage 1 – Bürkliplatz to Adliswil (length 9 km, ascent 130 m, descent 90 m).
