ヴァンゲン＝ブリュッティセレンの洞窟・トップ17

The Multberg rises southeast of the village of Pfungen in the lower Töss Valley. The summit plateau, measuring approximately 45 x 25 meters, is protected by ditches on the west and east sides, and the terrain drops steeply all around. According to archaeological findings, Multberg Castle was built around the middle of the 13th century. Construction appears to have been carried out under time pressure and was rather makeshift. Whether the castle ever served as a permanent residence is questionable. Its builders are believed to have been the Barons of Wart, who at that time also owned the neighboring castles of Pfungen and Wart. The original name of the castle is unknown. Its destruction occurred in the spring of 1309. After Rudolf III of Wart had actively participated in the assassination of King Albrecht I of Habsburg the previous year, Multberg, along with Wart, fell victim to the Habsburg campaign of revenge under Duke Leopold I of Austria. The chronicler Johannes von Winterthur reports that he saw two castles burning at that time: they must have been Wart and Multberg. It's a bit of a shame that there is no information plaque on site about the former castle and its history. https://www.burgenwelt.org/schweiz/multberg/object.php

Very nice hiking trail directly at Lake Greifensee.

Swiss National Museum, Zurich The Swiss National Museum houses a unique collection of Swiss cultural history and arts and crafts from its beginnings to the present day. The collection comprises over 870,000 objects and is divided into 14 collections. These collections serve as the source material and starting point for research and exhibitions.

History of the National Museum, Zurich The 19th century is generally considered the century of nations and nation-states. While the construction of memorials, monuments, and institutions progressed rapidly in other European countries, the young federal state of Switzerland was reluctant to consider a national museum. Such an undertaking aroused skepticism. There were also very pragmatic reasons: almost every canton possessed its own collections, reflecting the federalist nature of the young nation-state. It was Zurich National Councilor Salomon Vögelin who initiated the discussion about its establishment in 1883, inspired by the success of the national art exhibition at the Swiss National Exhibition in Zurich. After fierce disputes over the location, Zurich prevailed over Lucerne, Basel, and Bern in 1891. The young architect Gustav Gull utilizes various historicizing architectural elements from the late Middle Ages and the modern era: The Swiss National Museum was intended to be a creative unity between collection, exhibition, and architecture. The combination of the museum and the School of Applied Arts fulfills another important principle: to connect schools of applied arts with museums so that the past can serve as a model and inspiration for the students' work. Today, the National Museum Zurich is considered an exceptional 19th-century museum building and a monument of national importance. Opened in 2016, the new building by the Swiss architects Christ & Gantenbein perfectly complements Gustav Gull's building wing. It houses large, flexible exhibition halls, a modern library, and an auditorium for public events.

Beautiful viewpoint with a view of Lake Greifensee and the mountains

Very nice viewpoint to the lake

A pretty village right on the lake. The only village that is directly on the lake. The passage is not obstructed.

The National Museum near Zurich's main train station is reminiscent of a fairytale castle. Anyone who enters the courtyard through the archway, which is open to the public, will discover a modern new building that balances out the original building, which is in the historicist style.
