A 250-meter-long pump track with a jump line has been standing in the middle of the forest on the Zürichberg since 2010. In this now cool place, the French and Russians once fought each other on hot summer days in 1799.
The fully rollable facility can be used by everyone from young to old. As with all pump tracks, the saddle should be lowered and the tires must be well pumped.
The pump track has other playful elements such as a seesaw, bars of different widths for balancing, driving around stakes, etc.
The unique location high above Zurich and under shady trees makes a visit in the summer a pleasure. Benches and a barbecue area are also available. A fountain is located on the corner of Orelliweg/Hinterbergstrasse.
The pump track is now seen as the origin of the European pump track movement. The tracks are still relatively inorganic, which is something you hardly find in public facilities these days. For this reason, a visit to the pump track on the Züriberg is a must for every pump track fan.
