Rheinfall–Zürcher Oberland

Stage 2, Pfäffikon ZH–Wattwil (Ricken)
Reed meadows and marsh clover at the Pfäffikersee lake then a harmonious glacial landscape with hilly drumlins and marshy hollows. After the Stadttobel in Rüti, a panoramic climb on an ancient pilgrims’ path to the Rikenpass, watershed to Toggenburg.
