    On the saddle between Hönggerberg and Käferberg lies the ETH Hönggerberg campus with the departments of Chemistry, Physics, Materials Science, Architecture, Civil Engineering, and Biology.
    The open spaces of the campus, such as the Steiner Garden or the central Forum, are well connected to the surrounding local recreation area, a gently undulating glacial landscape with agricultural use, a network of field embankments, narrow ditches, and orchards.
    Of the total area of approx. 400,000 square meters, about 180,000 square meters are near-natural areas.
