Description
At the Pfäffikersee one can easily do the 9 km full roundtrip of the lake in 2/3 hours. There are some good places to rest and have a drink/snack. Besides the lake itself, there are reedbeds, orchards, grasslands, streams, hills and woods. There's a nature center on the north end, close to the town, and some locations have boardwalks over the lake into the reedbeds.

Access
Parking is best done in Pfäffikon (it is very hard to park near Juckerfarm). Better yet, just use the brilliant Swiss public transport system to get close to the lake! For example, from Zürich train station it is only 18 km (30 minutes by train) to Pfäffikon.
