Greifensee is a small lake 20 km to the northeast of Lake Zurich and the city of Zurich. It lies approximately at co-ordinates 47°21′N 8°41′E. As the second largest lake in the Canton of Zurich (Lake Zurich being the largest), it is about 6 km long and 1.6 km at the widest point, for a maximum depth of 32 m. The Aabach is the main supplying river. A ship connects small towns lining the water, Maur, Nieder-Uster, Fällanden, Mönchaltorf and the town Greifensee. It is the scene of the Greifensee-Lauf, a semi-marathon around the lake held every year.

Greifensee is a very small town, or at least the old part of it is, the part on the lake shore.
After Greifensee the path turns a little away from the lake, and becomes asphalt for pretty much the whole way around the lake.
The landscape at the south-east end of the Greifensee is much more open and flat than at the northern end, but by a couple of kilometres out of Maur we were back in rolling, gently hilly country - nothing remotely difficult, but not flat.
