Pass by as many rich elegant villas as you do decrepit farm buildings on the penultimate stage of the Lake Zurich Trail. Fortunately the nature in the area has more harmony than the manmade development, with waterfalls, babbling brooks, pastures and hills all rolling into each other. As you get closer to Küsnacht you can check out the Ploughstone, proudly the largest boulder in the canton of Zurich and the spectacular Küsnacht Ravine.
