Between the Zurich nature centers

The first stage of Via Natura was opened between ThurauenTarget not accessible and NeeracherriedTarget not accessible in 2022.

Over the next few years, the signposting on the path will be expanded to create a circular hiking trail of around 200 kilometres between the Zurich nature centers.

Along the route, Via Natura leads through significant nature reserves and special landscapes to unfamiliar natural phenomena.
