The lookout point on the excavation of the university buildings is popularly known as “Monte Diggelmann” - or simply Monte. The name refers to the former president of the neighborhood association Oberstrass. Walter Diggelmann campaigned vehemently against the overbuilding of the Strickhof area by the university expansion.

We are on the Monte Diggelmann lookout point, from which one has a wonderful panoramic view of the Irchelpark and the city.
There are several benches for contemplation.
