Sun – Start of the Planet Trail (Uetliberg)

Highlight • Trail

The planetary path, which represents the solar system, is located on the Uetliberg. The hike begins shortly behind the Uetliberg S-Bahn stop with the sun. From here you follow the well-signposted Planet Trail. The distances from the sun to the planets were drawn to scale (one meter corresponds to one million kilometers).

Luminous Deer

Highlight • Monument

From the Uetliergahn, the path goes slightly uphill past deer sculptures. These "glowing deer" were designed in 1991 by the artist Bruno Weber, who was inspired by the legend of the founding of Fraumünster. According to this, a white deer with brightly shining antlers is said to have led the sisters Hildegard and Berta to the spot on the Limmat where the Fraumünster was later built.

Uetliberg Observation Tower and the Uto Kulm Restaurant

Highlight • Viewpoint

One of the most beautiful views of the city of Zurich. Of course, a visit to the cozy restaurant is worthwhile. From the observation tower you have a fantastic view of the Alps and the Black Forest.

The uphill part is worth it alone because of the mega view! And then "downhill" 🤘

Yes, beautiful... Sunday, with these conditions, of course, there were a lot of people. It was slippery! My "lightweight winter hiking boots" didn't offer much grip either. 💁🏻‍♂️

I had to turn around twice, take the train to Ringlikon, and then continue on foot to Uitkon Waldegg.
