Two to go and we have surrounded Winterthur in 10 stages!
We start high up in Brütten. We meet at the Bus station “Brütten Zentrum”.
We will pass the most Western point and find hidden treasures around the Rumstal: an amphibian pond, a cultural venue with a summer bistro including a secluded garden and a monastery ruin with a picnic area. In the Euelwies you can enjoy a local beer and think about whether Winterthur really needs a lake.
