Between May and October, railroad fans of all ages can undertake a trip on one of the historical trains operated by the Zurich Oberland Steam Train Association (DVZO).

Every Sunday during these months, steam and historic electric trains run between Bauma and Bäretswil or Hinwil. Along the route, the trains cross eight bridges and pass numerous level crossings. No registration is required for passengers, unless you want to ride in the dining car. The train schedule is available on the website. On days when steam trains are running, a vintage post bus also travels to Hulftegg.

Incidentally, the DVZO also offers private trips for groups or clubs along the Bauma–Hinwil route at any time.
