The Kemptweg combines an approximately five-kilometre hiking trail with industrial history and natural history. Other attractions focus on different themes: the Farmtrail explores topics such as agriculture, consumption and climate; in Winterberg, historical boundary stones and golf take centre stage. For planning your outings, specific route details can help you decide which theme interests you along the way.
Hiking Trails and Exercise
The Kemptweg features 16 information panels. The trail covers objects of industrial and natural history, and several picnic spots add to what it offers. The Maggi food factory is also part of the route: it is presented as a highlight of industrialisation in the Kemptthal valley. This brings technological history and natural history together on the same route.
A section of around three kilometres is described separately for route planning. It runs from the former Mannenberg Mill to Kemptthal railway station and is therefore shorter than the entire hiking trail, which is around five kilometres long. Taking the route length into account helps distinguish between these details: the approximate total length and the specific section, with its two endpoints.
The Vitaparcours in Lindauerwald offers a different kind of workout. It is 1.8 kilometres long and has an elevation difference of 10 metres. The course offers a balanced workout for endurance, flexibility and strength. The Finnish track starts right by the Strickhof; it is 400 metres long and made of sawdust and bark chips. The stated lengths clearly distinguish the format of these two options.
The Farmtrail: Agriculture, Consumption and Climate
The interactive Farmtrail is an adventure trail in Lindau ZH. It runs from the Strickhof to Kleinikon and has twelve stations. It focuses on various areas of agriculture, as well as consumption and climate. The trail therefore covers several themes at once: in addition to agriculture, its focus also includes questions of consumption and climate. This sets it apart in terms of subject matter from the Kemptweg, whose description mentions objects of industrial and natural history.
Boundary Stones and Church Art
The boundary-stone garden is located at the Berghof municipal works depot in Winterberg and can be visited at any time. It displays boundary stones from Lindau dating from the Middle Ages to the 19th century and is the first boundary-stone garden in the Canton of Zurich. Its time span offers a tangible way to explore the history of boundary stones: objects from several centuries stand side by side here.
Lindau Church also offers historical details. It was consecrated in 1896. Its metal and glass entrance door was added in 1968 and features the Christian symbols of bread, wine and fish. The dates place these details in chronological order: the church was consecrated before the door was installed. Those interested in architectural history and individual design features will find another distinct perspective on Lindau here.
Golf and Nature Trail
Winterberg Golf Course has a 9-hole course and offers beautiful views of the Alps. The Kemptthal nature trail is located at the Kemptthal service area. The activities described there invite visitors to take a break, get some exercise and discover something new. These attractions offer a different focus from trails with stated lengths and stations: the golf course is defined by its 9-hole layout, while the nature trail combines taking a break, exercise and discovery.
