Szybka przejażdżka rowerowa z Zollikerberg do Zürich (Kreis 5) / Escher-Wyss

This ride takes you from the leafy suburb of Zollikerberg into the buzzing heart of Zürich’s Kreis 5, specifically the modern Escher-Wyss district. It’s a super accessible 12.5 km spin, mostly downhill (over 230 meters of descent!), meaning you can cruise and enjoy the views without much effort. The route is mostly on quiet roads with a smooth asphalt surface and a tiny bit of gravel, so you won’t have to worry much about rough patches.

Starting in Zollikerberg — a peaceful area known for its green spaces right on the city’s doorstep — you’ll escape the sleepy suburb vibe pretty quickly as you zip toward Lake Zürich, and then snake through the city suburbs. The only real uphill is at the very start, after which it's mostly coasting.

Your destination, Kreis 5’s Escher-Wyss, is famous for its striking mixture of industrial history and trendy new hotspots — tons of cafes, art, and nightlife in repurposed factories. So, bring your city legs, enjoy the downhill, and reward yourself with a coffee or a visit to the art museum at the end!
