Quick ride by bicycle from Hombrechtikon to Wetzikon

This scenic ride takes you from the tranquil village of Hombrechtikon up to the lively town of Wetzikon—both nestled in the beautiful Zürcher Oberland. Starting off, you’ll pedal through peaceful countryside, mostly along quiet roads, with a few gentle climbs (expect a steady ascent of just under 200 meters, but nothing too serious). The route is almost entirely paved and pretty smooth, with only a small stretch of gravel to keep things interesting.

Hombrechtikon is known for its charming rural feel and proximity to Lake Zurich, making it a popular place for day-trippers and cyclists alike. As you head north, you’ll pass through classic Swiss farmland, dotted with apple orchards and meadows. Approaching Wetzikon, the scenery shifts to a more urban vibe; the town is one of the region’s cultural hubs, with plenty of cafes, shops, and even the historic Greifensee lake close by.

At 15 km, the ride is approachable for most cyclists and perfect for a half-day adventure. Enjoy the peaceful route, fresh air, and maybe pause for a photo or two along the way!
