In the Zurich area, the pumpkin exhibition - Kürbisausstellung in German - at Jucker Farm is certainly the event that more than any other marks the beginning of autumn. Here the pumpkin is certainly the star, together with the small but lively Lake Pfäffikon, an excellent base for a short walk before or after visiting the exhibition.

The walk we propose is a circular route that starts at the Pfäffikon train station and, following the path around the lakeshore and past the Jucker farm, reaches the train station again for the return journey. This is an extremely easy hike, because it is almost entirely on level ground, and which we recommend as it not only allows you to visit the Jucker farm and the pumpkin exhibition, but also to spend a few extra hours in the fresh air, perhaps on a nice autumn weekend. The total route is about 10 km, which can be covered in about two and a half hours (plus the time spent at the exhibition). On the way you can enjoy some panoramic views of the lake and you can visit the pumpkin exhibition free of charge. At the farm you can also buy something for lunch or a snack and take home with you fresh produce from the garden and, of course, as many pumpkins as possible!
