About this property

Apartment in a beautiful panoramic location in the forest in the Zurich Oberland

An apartment for guests, pilgrims and seekers ...

If these words appeal to you, then it could be that you will feel comfortable in our apartment. It is located above the village of Wald in the Zurich Oberland in a quiet and most beautiful view: a new 2-room garden apartment in our somewhat older house, which we have breathed fresh colors and vitality into. The "pilgrim apartment" with its own entrance is located in the lower part of the house and - like the whole house - faces south.

It includes the living room with kitchen corner, the bathroom and a bedroom with a French bed. The sofa in the living room can be converted into another bed. The apartment is suitable for 2 people or parents with 1 child. Kitchen living with ceramic hob. No TV, but WiFi connection (wireless). Parking 15m from the house. You have a clear view of the mountains from the windows, and the apartment door leads directly into the garden, which is open for free use. A natural stone staircase leads to a fireplace in the upper part of the garden with a magnificent panoramic view of the village and the Alps. A wonderful place that we are always drawn to!

* Forest is a beautiful and large village on the edge of the Prealps. It is not always, but very often above the fog, nestled in the hills and forest, and even has its own alp - Alp Scheidegg. Our house is located on the hiking route to the Bachtel and in close proximity to the Jakobweg, which is used by many pilgrims. In summer, the area is ideal for hiking, in winter you can reach the Oberholz and Atzmännig ski areas in less than a quarter of an hour.

Forest has a great industrial past. It was considered a center of the textile industry and was called "Manchester of Switzerland". Homeland-protected factory buildings and manufacturer's villas testify to that time, so that nature and culture combine in a harmonious way in our village,

* Lake Zurich can be reached by car in 20 minutes. There is Rapperswil with the lake promenade, castle, old town and numerous shops. Zurich is also within easy reach. The journey to the largest Swiss city takes 35 minutes, 40 minutes by public transport. That is what makes this village so appealing: that both are within reach - the mountains as well as the city.

Peaceful stay in quiet location
It was a pleasant and comfortable stay in a beautiful and quiet part of Switzerland. We really enjoyed our week at the apartment and would return happily any time. We especially appreciated Christa and Nicholas our hosts who were friendly and helpful to us. Thank you!

Gezellig appartement, vriendelijke gastheer
Gezellig appartementje, niet erg groot, buitenruimte wat krap. Eigenaar/gastheer woont erboven en is goed bereikbaar en benaderbaar voor diverse vragen. Wel wat weinig comfortabele stoelen om ontspannen buiten te zitten.

Super hospitable hosts. Lovely space. So close to bus stop—but best not to rely totally on Google maps.

Tolle Ferienwohnung, ruhig gelegen, vollständig ausgerüstet
Wir haben den Aufenthalt sehr genossen. Die Übergabe war unkompliziert, alles hat bestens funktioniert. Saubere, schön eingerichtete Erdgeschosswohnung in ruhigem Quartier. Ideal gelegen, zu Fuss sind es nur wenige Minuten bis ins Zentrum von Wald. Funktionale, praktische Küche, schöne Möblierung der Wohnung. Ideal für 2 Personen.

Great views, lovely apartment away from the city
We loved Christa and Nicolas's place and were very happy in Wald for our 3 day trip. The apartment is clean and welcoming, and the hosts are excellent and helpful. This is a fantastic way to see some Swiss countryside. The hiking trails nearby are beautiful and provide a great way to wander for a few days. We would definitely recommend this to anyone considering a trip to Wald.

Spectacular spot!
Wald is definitely off the beaten track, and that's what we were seeking for a respite from visiting European big cities. This downstairs apartment in a beautiful home in Wald is privately accessible, roomy and includes everything a traveler needs- nice kitchen, bathroom and two rooms for sleeping - one with large eating table and kitchen area. Clean and attractive with amazing views of the countryside and the sound of Swiss cowbells and glorious churchbells nearby. It is not far from the Wald train station but it's probably better for someone with a car than on foot as we were- depending on your willingness to trek. If you come for hiking or skiing it would be a very nice mid-point as the distance to Zurich is about 30-40 minutes by train - and then a 10 minute walk to location. There is an excellent spa/hotel nearby which we took full advantage of on a rainy day. The Swiss are known for their self contained tendencies but our host was gracious and welcoming and even came to get us when we arrived. For a glimpse of the real life experience of a modern yet ancient Swiss village Wald is a great choice!
