BucheggPlatz, Zürich to Würenlos Trail type: Trail/XC Physical Fitness: 1 to 2 Technical Difficulty: 1 to 2
Start off at Bucheggplatz, head North up Rötelstrasse, turn left onto Obere Waidstrasse then right onto Im Rehsprung. Climb up the hill, and then it is up to your imagination. Just follow trails that look interesting and keep on heading North West, though a bit more West than North and explore. It is a mixture of wide open trails, walking trails and random bits of single track. If you accidentally come out of the forest, then just turn back into the forest.
The exception to this is that at Höng you will need to ride around the institution there. You will also need to cross Regensdorferstrasse (which I havn't done yet).
This is a fun ride with no killer climbs or difficult descents. But there are some fun single tracks if you find them. The beauty of this ride is that because it is in the middle of the city, you can make it as long or as short as you like, with many opportunities to pop back onto a street and take the easy way home if desired. There are also plenty of tracks to explore without any real risk of getting lost, so this adds another element of fun to the trail without having to be a super fitness freak.
Just remember that you will be sharing a lot of these trails with walkers, so be careful and courteous.
