    In earlier times, the Schauenberg was a high watchtower. This alarm system was very fast: in the canton of Zurich, for example, all 23 high watchtowers could transmit the signal within 15 minutes. The high watchtowers were last used in 1870 during the Franco-Prussian War.

      Well-preserved castle ruins, with a distant view, the Alps lie at your feet

        You can debate which mountain in Zurich has the most beautiful view, but this is one of the best.
        No train or car can get here, only hikers and bikers.
