For some medieval atmosphere: Visit castle Kyburg

Inside the castle there is a small museum.
But not only the castle itself but also the beautiful surroundings are worth the trip.
The castle is located on a forested hill above the River Töss about 8km in the south of Winterthur.

Bicycle: It makes up for a 25min ride by bike.
Train: Take the S26 to the train station called "Sennhof-Kyburg". From there it's a 25min walk by foot.

When arriving at the Töss, don't follow the street. There is a footpath which goes uphill starting at the old wooden bridge (see map).

All along the river Töss there is places for picnic. The river itself is not very deep but maintains a sufficient amount of water to wet your feet when it's hot.
