Gottfried-Keller-Dichterweg trail
Hike from Glattfelden to Zweidlen
The three-hour hike from Glattfelden to Zweidlen brings you up close to the Swiss poet Gottfried Keller thanks to the 14 poem boards on the trail presenting interesting facts about the writer, his youth in Glattfelden, his life and work.
The lovingly designed Gottfried Keller Center is located in Glattfelden. The exhibition is open on the first weekend of every month from 2 p.m. to 4 p.m. A special exhibition on the first floor can be viewed on other days. A break in Kafi Judith is highly recommended.
The hiking trail first passes along the River Glatt before snaking around a wooded range of hills and ending at Zweidlen railway station.
