Wirtschaft zur Kittenmühle - Erlenbach
This beautiful restaurant is just on top of Erlenbach. The hike from Erlenbach follows a small river with a beautiful waterfall. It’s a 2km uphill hike but it’s totally worth it. You can also start in Küsnacht (5km) or in Zurich (10km) for the fittest. Even though the walk from Erlenbach is beautiful, if you decide to start from Küsnacht or from Zürich you will be passing by more forest roads.
The Wirtschaft zur Kittenmühle is a beautiful restaurant, the service is super friendly and they serve genuine Swiss cuisine. They have seasonal dishes and most of their food is sourced from near farms. Try the Cordon-bleu!
