Lakeside beach at Türlersee

Highlight • Beach

A nice seaside resort. How much is going on here in summer I can't say. I was here in autumn and there were only a few bathers in the lake :-)

Albis-Hochwacht Observation Tower

Highlight • Viewpoint

The observation tower is in the truest sense of the word the highlight of a run through the Sihlwald. If the calves are not glowing yet, you can change that on the 153 steps to the observation deck. At the top there is the reward by return: In good weather you have a breathtaking view to the Bernese Alps and the Jura.

View of Lake Zurich

Highlight • Viewpoint

From here you have a great view over Lake Zurich. The number of many houses in the distance is impressive.

Wilderness Park Zurich Sihlwald

Highlight • Forest

The Sihlwald is the first protected area in Switzerland to be awarded and certified as a national park with the label "Nature Adventure Park".
Since 2000, the Sihlwald has been left to itself, natural processes run undisturbed.
A wilderness is emerging. There is a lot of dead wood in the natural forest reserve, as fallen trees are left lying and left to their natural dynamics.

A beautiful but somewhat warm 🥾 round (34 degrees 😅) to the Albis Hochwacht observation tower. Once you reach the top at around 30 meters, you can expect a fantastic 360-degree view of Lake Zurich, Lake Zug, the Black Forest, ...😊.
Not far away are the Schnabelburg castle ruins (unfortunately there is not much left of them 😢), but they …
