Leuenchopf

On the tour to Leuenchopf, you circle the lower Glatttal valley from Bülach away from the well-known hiking routes.


Description

The tour starts directly behind the Bülach regional hospital, from where you reach the Glatt river in sections on the routes of the Büli Bike Park. You then reach the gravel pits near Windlach via Strassberg on country roads. You now have to climb 120 meters to reach the highest point of the Leuenchopf. A quick descent takes you to the village of Weiach and a little later to the banks of the Rhine. Follow this on the Swiss side to the Rheinsfelden power station and then climb up to the Laubberg - 140 meters in altitude this time. Via Löchlihof, you then reach the busy main road and a little later Glattfelden railroad station. Parallel to the railroad line, the route rides along forest paths back to Eglisau.

A scenic tour. It is mainly on a natural surface with a high proportion of forest and meadow paths. The majority of the route does not present any technical difficulties. A few sections are a little steeper and there are a few roots along the way. If you prefer to ride these sections downhill, it is better to tackle the route in an anti-clockwise direction. My assessment of the technical difficulty: easy (S1).
Please note: the section on the banks of the Rhine between Weiach and Rheinsfelden power station is closed due to a landslide. A (pleasant) detour is signposted.
