From here you have a good view of the Lower Pfannenstiel, the mountain panorama and Lake Zurich. Beautiful hiking trails that are also suitable for a Sunday walk.

Pfannenstiel Tower

Highlight • Viewpoint

The view is fantastic if you have no fear of heights and dare to climb the tower (which, by the way, originally stood on the Bachtel) using the iron stairs.

Hochwacht Pfannenstiel — Restaurant and Viewpoint

Highlight • Viewpoint

Popular excursion destination on the Pfannenstiel. In addition to a good restaurant, there is an observation tower, plenty of seating and plenty of sun when the weather is right. A worthwhile destination, even in winter.
