A possible start of the circular route is at Freienbach SBB station. From there, the path runs near the lake. During the summer months, the lakeside baths invite you to cool off. In winter, it is worth stopping to observe the numerous water and migratory birds. Along the walk, you encounter the Leutschen area. There the view opens up to the undeveloped cultural landscape. In the midst of the stunning vineyards of the Einsiedeln monastery cellar, you discover the Leutschenhaus. Due to the proximity to the settlement area, typical cultural followers such as swallows and swifts live in this area.
Between the railway line and Lake Zurich there is a nationally important fen. To protect this valuable habitat, the farmers have adapted the use of the fen.
Not to forget is the castle complex in Pfäffikon. In the public show garden, numerous native plants can be viewed.
