    Tips

    April 4, 2019

    Nobody really knows why Stöckentobelbach is also called Elefantenbach. Apparently, elephants were always found to be cool, so there's a lot in Witikon: The elephant is a kind of unofficial heraldic animal of the Zurich district. And that's exactly why an elephant stands around in the middle of the stream - one made of concrete, of course, not a real one.

    The "Beautification Club Zurich" has installed here in 1898 to lure the people here who hitherto used to make their excursions almost exclusively to the Uetliberg. In this promotion also the way here has its origin, on which even more than 120 years later, can still run fine.
