Description
The route offers impressive views and varied terrain. From Fehraltorf station, the path leads past the racecourse into the forest towards Gutenswil. On the ridge where the forest opens up, there is a view to Lake Greifen and the Forch region. In the "Wildert" nature reserve, the footpath crosses small streams and passes ponds up to Illnau.
After the Restaurant Rössli Illnau, the path turns 90 degrees right into the Sagiweiher valley. Welcome to the enchanted valley, where the elevation gain past waterfalls is easily climbed. On the ridge from Aguasul to First, the Restaurant First in the village of the same name invites you to stop. From there, the bus stop in Billikon can be reached in 20 minutes.
