Küsnacht Erratic Boulder

Highlight • Natural Monument

The dragon's head (official name) hasn't been around for that long. Only since 2013. He witnessed a huge rock fall. The boulder is made of Nagelfluh (Wulp gravel).

Küsnachter Horn

Highlight • Beach

Spacious public park, the definitive end of the Küsnachter Tobel, where the village stream flows into Lake Zurich. Barbecue areas, sunbathing lawn, octopus playground, swimming area - always quite busy.

Alexander's Stone in the Küsnachter Tobel

Highlight • Natural Monument

The mighty boulder was transported here over 20,000 years ago by the Linth Glacier from the Glarus Alps - an incredible journey. Now it is immovable and impressive in the middle of Küsnachter Tobel.

Küsnacht Gorge Waterfalls

Highlight • Waterfall

The village brook ripples in many waterfalls leisurely through the Küsnachter Tobel towards Zürisee. The natural pools, which arise between the individual waterfalls, offer themselves on hot summer days, especially for children as a good swimming.

September 11, 2021,🇨🇭 Forch - Küsnachter Tobel - Küsnacht
After three days of training and a lot of sitting, I urgently needed some "exercise". The easy, beautiful path through the Küsnachter Tobel came in handy for me. Not the most spectacular ravine in the region, but geologically interesting and ideal for "ventilating" your head.

A peaceful vacation for two. Visiting friends in Switzerland – it couldn't have started much better.

On the first day, we took a short trip from Küsnacht near Zurich on the punctual (!) Swiss public transport – short, comfortable, and relaxed. Only Komoot wasn't in the mood at first, so the recording started a little later.
