Zurich Nearby Farm Experience

We'll embark on a 30-minute drive from Zurich to Pfaffikersee Lake, a hidden gem that remains undiscovered by most tourists. The autumn sun bathes the landscape in golden hues, making it a true treasure.

Our first highlight is Lake Pfäffikon, a tranquil and lesser-known lake beloved by locals. Here, you’ll enjoy a guided hike surrounded by autumn colors reds, golds and oranges. Families with kids can choose a shorter lakeside walk, while those who want more adventure can explore further on a two-hour loop. It’s the perfect setting for photography and quiet moments in nature.

Next, we arrive at Jucker Farm, a highlight of the region and especially charming in autumn when the famous Pumpkin Exhibition is on display. Here you can marvel at creative pumpkin sculptures, join hands-on workshops like pumpkin carving, and meet friendly farm animals such as goats, cows, and rabbits. Take a stroll through the apple orchard (ÖpfelGarte) to learn about harvesting, then enjoy local specialties in the farm restaurant with options like a hearty BuureZmorge brunch or a traditional farm lunch. Don’t miss the Hofladen (farm shop), where you can shop for fresh produce, homemade jams, juices, and baked goods, while kids can have fun in the play areas and farm adventure spots. It’s the perfect mix of Swiss traditions, nature, and family fun all in one stop.
