Dolderbahn mountain station

Highlight • Structure

The Dolderbahn is a small Zürich specialty: Since 1893 there is a funicular, which created a connection from the Römerhofplatz to the Grand Hotel Dolder. In the 1970s, the cable car was replaced by a rack railway, which is still in operation today. Together with the Zurich city railways you will not even get 20 minutes from the city center on the Adlisberg.

Degenried Pond and Waldhaus

Highlight • Lake

A cozy oasis high above the city of Zurich. A forest restaurant with character and hearty cuisine. For enjoyment in a tranquil setting where time can pass without you. Located in the heart of the forest, next to a beautiful clearing with a magical pond, yet still easily accessible. Plenty of parking is also available for guests arriving by car.

Stone Elephant in Elefantenbach Gorge

Highlight • Monument

Elephant stream is called the brook in the Stöckentobel-symbol for it is the stone elephant, which the beautification club Zurich 1898 further down in the riverbed built. Where the unusual name comes from is not clear. But already on the wild card from the years 1843-1851 the brook is called by the Stöckentobel as "Elephantenbach". The elephant stands in the middle of the stream and invites you to play and linger. A fire pit with seating is also available.

Loorenkopf Tower

Highlight • Viewpoint

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.
