The Pfannenstiel has become one of the most important local recreation areas for residents living in the surrounding area and in Zurich. The heavily forested mountain ridge lies between Lake Greifen and Lake Zurich and its highest point, the Hochwacht, is 853 metres above sea level. The Panorama Trail from Zurich to Rapperswil is particularly popular. It takes you past beautiful ravines and relics from the Middle Ages and the Stone Age. Enjoy the fantastic views of the Alps and the lake along the way. But its diverse flora and fauna also have their charms. On our knives you will find a selection of the most popular places and viewpoints that you will see on this hike. Have fun discovering!
