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).
-
This very popular, pretty trail circumnavigates the Türlersee, a small lake in the district of Affoltern, in Canton Zürich. At only 4.5 kilometers and almost no elevation change, this trail was the perfect easy walk for a less than perfect day.
-
The Sihlwald Circular Trail (length 13 km, ascent 570 m, descent 570 m) is a fun loop trail that starts at the Sihlwald Bahnhoff, goes through the forest up to the fabulous views at the Albishorn, and ends with a lovely easy walk along the riverside as it returns to the Sihlwald Bahnhoff.
-
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.
-
