Rowerowa z Wetzikon do Hombrechtikon

This enjoyable cycling route takes you from the lively town of Wetzikon to the more rural charm of Hombrechtikon. The journey is just over 12 km—perfect for an easy morning or late afternoon ride. You’ll start off in Wetzikon, a regional hub known for its vibrant markets and proximity to Lake Pfäffikon. Soon, you’ll be gliding along mostly quiet roads (about 60% of the route), so you can really soak in the scenery without too much traffic.

Along the way, expect a good mix of surfaces: mostly smooth asphalt and paved paths, with a few gravel stretches adding some variety. There’s a gentle climb at the start (around 138 meters of ascent), but afterwards it’s mostly rolling terrain with a pleasant descent toward Hombrechtikon. This small town sits near the Zürichsee, surrounded by orchards and farmland—worth taking a moment to explore before heading back!

With just a short burst on the busier roads and a bit of unpaved adventure, this route is a great pick for leisure riders wanting a taste of the Zürcher Oberland’s countryside.
