Obersee Experience Trail
The Obersee Experience Trail is a sustainable and unifying experience for the population of the region around the upper Lake Zurich. The themed trail extends over the two cantons of Schwyz and St. Gallen and across a total of seven municipalities. The circular route runs on the existing trail network for hikers (switzerland mobility Route 84, stages 5 and 6), for bike and e-bike riders (switzerland mobility Route 99 stage 9) around the Obersee. To increase attractiveness, you can discover 10 to 20 experience points on the Obersee Experience Trail. These tell connecting and interesting stories from the Obersee region. The goal is to network the various excursion destinations around the Obersee and thus attract young and old to this wonderful region.
