    Hiking

    From the Loorenkopf you have a great view over parts of Lake Zurich and Lake Greifen. And the mountain panorama is the icing on the cake. The tower is easy to reach and open to the public.

    The grill hut is awesome. Since a fireplace is covered, you can continue to grill comfortably even when it rains. Unfortunately, the omnipresent greases didn't stop here either.

    The Loorenkopf is the name of an outstanding terrain on the eastern edge of the Adlisberg summit, known for the Loorenkopf observation tower built there. The place is located north of the Zurich district of Witikon at 694 m in the forest.

    The Loorenkopf tower is a 33-meter-high wooden tower, built in 1954 by the Zurich Beautification Association. The top platform can be reached via 153 steps. On days with a foehn wind, you can see as far as the Eiger, Mönch and Jungfrau.
