Irchel Südrunde
Description
The starting point of this Irchel tour is behind Winterthur railroad station, from where you initially follow the signposted cycle paths to Wülflingen. There is a section along the Töss until you tackle the ascent to Irchel at Blumetshalde. Passing Hinterhueb and Oberhueb, you later reach the single trail that rides along the ridge to Hochwacht. The return journey follows the same route until the excellent descent begins above Dättlikon. You pass Blumetshalde again, then Pfungen and climb past Rumsberg to the Chomberg. The ridge path, the descent to Dättnau and the trail to the Töss district round off the route.

Nice loop, with cool ups and downs. However, the trail section to Irchel Hochwacht, which is ridden in both directions, is not very exciting and is probably also full of walkers on weekends.
The other trails are more exciting, but it should be dry for a few days, otherwise some of them are not rideable due to a lot of mud and bumping bikes is rather dangerous on the right-hand gradient.
If you are not dependent on public transport, it is worth adapting the tour slightly. Start in Dättnau, a trail slightly above the road leads towards Neuchâtel or slightly above it. After a short section of forest road, the route follows another trail in the direction of Wülflingen. There you ride across the field and cross the Töss shortly before the sewage treatment plant and turn onto the ride trail.
