3 mini passes and Gravel roads around the Töss Valley

Route details

The 3 mini Mountain passes and the Gravel roads are challenging to ride. Caution: forest paths and Gravel roads!

The start is in Winterthur Seen. The route follows country roads via Hofstetten and Gyrenbad to Turbenthal. The roads have no central reservation but are easy to ride. However, the ascent to the Sternenberg Pass is challenging, with no central reservation and many narrow and confusing curves. Before Tannegg, the Tourer leads out onto side roads into Gjät and along a Dirt track to Buchegg - where the 1.5 km long Gravel road section awaits you! (Funnily enough, our direction of travel is passable on Buchenegg, but there is a driving ban in the opposite direction 🤷🏻‍♂️).
Via Gfell, the route takes you over the Sternenberg Pass to Bauma; this section of the route also has no central reservation for the most part.

After a short stretch on the Main road, the route continues on narrow, winding roads from Saland via Schalchen and Neschwil to Rikon im Tösstal.
From Rikon, the last section of the Tourer leads along main roads to Winterthur Seen.
