Rafzerfeld

The Rafzerfeld is a northern corner of the canton of Zurich and has some beautiful mountain bike routes to offer.

Description

In Eglisau, you pass the railroad bridge and follow the national border to Wasterkingen. Now you climb up to the hill train that rides above Wil and Rafz to Rafzerstein. From Lottstetten on German soil, you ride to the banks of the Rhine directly opposite Ellikon. Follow the banks of the renaturalized Rhine to Rüdlingen and continue along the Rhine to the bend in the river opposite Tössegg. A steep ascent leads up a short distance until you return to the riverbank a little later via a trail. It is only a few hundred meters to Eglisau after the end of the trail.

This is a beautiful tour, but there has been a large gravel works in Rafzerfeld for years, to which some of the trails have had to give way.
The GPS data rides directly through the gravel works.
