    Especially in autumn and in spring you can enjoy a beautiful view here. On the way to the Albis restaurant, you come to a ridge section that gradually recovers after the devastation caused by the storm. A good reason to go there again and to observe this process.

      Name of the Albis Range
      The Kappel am Albis Monastery was founded in the Middle Ages. The Cistercian monks wore white albs. For a time, such "white brothers" lived on the mountain range above, known at the time as "Albi" (=the Whites). This is where the name of the mountain range comes from: the Albis Range. (Marius once told this story and has now summarized it from memory, December 8, 2021)

        The Albis is a mountain range in the canton of Zurich.
        The Albis is a mountain range in the canton of Zurich, running parallel to the Sihl River and Lake Zurich for approximately 22 kilometers from Sihlbrugg in the south to Urdorf/Schlieren near Zurich in the north.
        The Albis lies between the Sihl Valley in the east and the Reppisch Valley and the Aeugster Valley with Lake Türlersee in the west. The mountain ridge is followed by the district border between the Affoltern district in the west and the Horgen district and the city of Zurich on the east and northeast sides.
        The Sihlzopf above Sihlbrugg forms the southernmost prominent elevation, and Zurich's local mountain, the Uetliberg, forms the northern end of the ridge.
        The highest point of the mountain range is the Bürglen in the southern section at 914.6 m above sea level; the most famous point is the Uetliberg at 870.6 m above sea level. The eastern flank of the Albis is largely covered by the Sihlwald forest, is often steep and characterized by ridges and deep erosion ditches, such as the Fallätsche in the Rütschlibach catchment area. The western flank is less steep and partly meadowland. Numerous short streams, steep in the upper reaches, drain the mountain area to the Sihl and Reppisch rivers.
        The Sihl valley separates the Zimmerberg from the Albis.
