View from the Orelli Fountain

Highlight • Viewpoint

From the Orelli fountain you can enjoy a fantastic panorama over Lake Zurich and the Alps beyond - Rigi, Pilatus, Eiger, Mönch and Jungfrau. The fountain commemorates Susanna Orelli-Rinderknecht, who founded the Zurich Women's Association in 1894. The association offered women apprenticeships, social security and regular working hours - a progressive approach to professional equality at the time.

Highlight • Viewpoint

Beautiful path on the edge of the forest below the Zürichberg. When visibility is good, there is a great panoramic view of the city, Lake Zurich and the Uetliberg-Albis chain.

Sorell Hotel Zürichberg

Highlight • Restaurant

I can still remember my first visit here. It was a few years ago, but the memory remains.
On a warm summer day we walked to the Züriberg restaurant, we were all thirsty🍻, but when we wanted to drink our well-earned beer we were told that we don't serve alcohol.😥🤣
Back then the restaurant still belonged to the Zurich Women's Association.

Not far from the zoo there is a spectacular view of the glittering Lake Zurich. At around 40 kilometers long, it connects Zurich with Rapperswil and has shaped life in the region for centuries.

Rigiblick Funicular Upper Station

Highlight • Rest Area

The Rigiblick cable car runs from Universitätstrasse up to Rigiblick in Zurich's Oberstrass district. Since it opened in 1901, it has been modernized several times. In 1979, it was put into operation as the first fully automatic cable car in Switzerland and is used by around 600,000 passengers a year.

Today there was a duel between the sun and the dark clouds, I would say a draw.
Today the landscape changed every few minutes, a great rollercoaster of nature.
