Sihl River

The Sihl River is a beautiful sight located in Menzingen, Switzerland. The river is part of the Toggenburg region, known for its rolling hills, charming villages and picture perfect views. The Sihl River meanders from the high mountain peaks of the Alps to the city of Zurich and on eastwards to the Rhine River. Along its course, it offers some of the most spectacular landscapes in Switzerland.

The meandering Sihl is a popular spot for a leisurely walk, or a kayak or canoe trip. It passes through the charming towns of Menzingen, Wädenswil, and Aathal. From the water, you’ll have an unparalleled view of the towns’ picturesque architecture, picturesque bridges, and majestic cliffs and forests. One of the most popular hikes on the path along the Sihl River takes you up the steep path to the Felsenegg lookout point to take in sweeping views of the Zurich Lake and the mountain peaks of the Alps.
