Pedaling by the banks of the river Rhine, through vineyards, contemplating the Alps, picking fruit on your way, swimming in the lakes or watching the green prairies. The city of Rapperswil-Jona will be our base camp and it is considered as one of the jewels on the shore of Lake Zurich.
Enjoy riding on bicycle lanes, that is Switzerland on bike. We will be staying in Rapperswil, a mediaeval town with a castle, on the shores of the lake of Zurich.
