Zurich Unterland

The Zurich Unterland captivates with a fascinating diversity that takes visitors by surprise. Here, visitors won’t find a uniform, picture-perfect idyll, but rather a vibrant interplay of spectacular natural contrasts, historic charm, and active adventure experiences right on the city’s doorstep. The region invites you to leave everyday life behind immediately and immerse yourself in a wide variety of worlds: from the historic, castle-topped town of Regensberg to the maritime charm of Eglisau, to the untamed wilderness of the pristine Neeracherried or the striking ridge of the Lägern. You can also actively experience the element of water here—whether stand-up paddling on the Glatt, taking a leisurely boat ride on the deep-green Upper Rhine, or relaxing at hidden swimming spots.

Innovative local producers, who combine traditional craftsmanship with fresh ideas in their farm stands and vineyards, ensure enjoyable breaks throughout the day. Whether you’re out and about on a bike, curious about cultural discoveries in a historic setting, or looking for your next little adventure on the water: the ZüriUnterland is the perfect region for anyone who likes to take a closer look and seek out the unexpected. It’s worth picking up the adventure map—because the most exciting discoveries are often right around the corner!
