Limmattal-Umrundung

The Heitersberg and the Rüsler are two well-known mountain bike destinations in the Zurich region. They are part of the Limmattal circuit between Baden and Dietikon.

Description

The Limmat Valley loop has a long warm-up phase. The 13 kilometers ride largely flat along the left bank (viewed in the direction of flow) upstream along the Limmat. At the industrial area in Dietikon, you reach the Reppisch river, which flows into the Limmat here. You now follow this small river uphill through the town of Dietikon until just before the Reppischhof industrial estate. The route now climbs and leads over forest and mountain roads to the Hasenberg and finally onto the ridge path of the Heitersberg. Follow this flowing single trail until it joins a forest road. The route now rides along forest paths for a while, but soon returns to a singletrail to Rüsler. You return to Baden via Oberhau and Tüfels-Chäller on a mixture of single trails and forest roads.

There are various driving bans along the entire route with corresponding confrontations with pedestrians if you follow the route.

Very cool tour, I rode it today. Rüsler is extremely muddy after the rain yesterday-you shouldn't ride in these conditions, it destroys the trail. On a sunny day, few hikers on the trail, and all friendly.

Checked 2020

The ridge path over the Heitersberg has now been banned. And the second ridge path at Sänneberg is also subject to a driving ban.
