The pre-alpine cultural landscape between Feusisberg and Schindellegi offers many exciting habitats. Perfect for a leisurely walk above Lake Zurich.

Due to the glacial variety of forms and mosaic-like land use, a very varied landscape results.

In this hilly landscape, livestock farming is mainly carried out. Furthermore, the farmers cultivate fruit. This is still evidenced by the numerous tall orchard trees. They are a valuable habitat for many birds and enrich the landscape.

The farmers of Höfner are committed to biodiversity. They manage extensively used meadows and pastures, maintain hedges, and plant new tall fruit trees. Through adapted management, the farmers create the conditions for valuable habitats for many native plants and animals. By purchasing locally produced food – e.g., Höfner apple cider – you support our farmers directly.
