Description
The pond is a nature reserve located between the forest and large meadows stretching uphill towards Hinterried cemetery. It is a breeding ground for various duck species, Blishøne, and Rørhøne, but is also visited by Fiskehejre and the occasional Skarv. On calm days, Isfugl can sometimes be observed here.

Access
There is a public car park next to the lake. However, travelling by bus number 912 from Zürich Bellevue or bus number 919 from the Küsnacht train station (both to the bus station Itschnach-Tägermoos) is recommended. You can also reach Rumensee on different walkways leading there from Küsnacht train station in ca. 30 minutes. Besides this, Rumensee can be reached on hiking trails, starting at the Tram station "Rehalp" in Zürich. This hike takes about 60 minutes, leading across the Zolliker Allmend and through the forest to Küsnacht.
