Rent a car in Wald Zürcher Oberland.

Wald, a vibrant municipality in the Zürcher Oberland, is nestled in the upper valley of the Jona and combines history and nature in a special way. First mentioned in 1217 and granted market rights in 1621, Wald developed in the 19th century into a centre of the textile industry, soon becoming known as “Manchester of the Canton of Zürich“.

The surroundings of municipality Wald  is characterized by an impressive landscape diversity that excites both nature enthusiasts and those seeking tranquility. Romantic ravines such as the Sagenraintobel invite for walks, while viewpoints like the Bachtel with its distinctive tower offer breathtaking vistas from the Säntis to the Pilatus. Precisely because autumn and winter are often fog-free, the region is especially suitable for outdoor activities.

Not only nature lovers, but also culture enthusiasts get their money's worth. The local history museum presents an exciting permanent exhibition of former village life and simultaneously provides space for local art. Thus a bridge is created between past and present.

A well signposted network of hiking trails invites you to discover. A particularly beautiful route leads from Girenbad over the Schufelberger Egg to Bachtel and back. This allows visitors to experience not only movement but also enjoyment – for example with a fondue on the go – and at the same time impressive panoramas.

Wald connects historical significance with modern quality of life. On the one hand it is a place of history, on the other a vibrant habitat. Therefore Wald is not only a tourist destination, but also an experience venue that inspires and excites.
