Türlersee is a small lake near Zurich, nestled in a quiet valley, making you feel far away from the city even though you are quite close.

There's a nice walking path around the lake, about 4km all the way around. It's short enough that a 5 year old can walk around it without too much complaining. The path is mostly smooth dirt, possible with an all terrain stroller.

Trail: Easy • 1.5 h • 4 k loop • 80m up & down
See trail map.

You can visit all year round. It's a nice choice in fall, when higher elevation hikes are closed due to snow.

How to get there

By public transport: take a bus to Hausen am Albis, Türlersee, about 45 mins from Zurich. This drops you near the campground.

By car: You can park at the campground, which charges a fee. There are also two free parking areas near the lake. But there are only a few spots, so sometimes these are full. North parking at 47°16'33.9"N 8°30'10.6"E. South parking at Türlen 15, 8915 Hausen am Albis.
