Getting There

  • 🚂 Take the train to Aathal or Uster, then walk or take a short bus to Seegräben. Parking is a nightmare!
  • Weekends are busy, so it’s best to arrive early or visit on a weekday.
  • Entry to Juckerhof Seegräben is paid, while Bächlihof Jona is free.

👉👉Why Go?
It’s an easy and relaxing day trip from Zürich — no hiking required. Enjoy autumn colors, Swiss farm life, and endless pumpkins!
