View of Zurich and Lake Zurich from Hohenstein

Highlight • Viewpoint

Beautiful forest path from Triemli up to Hohenstein (and on to Uetliberg train station and Uto-Kulm with a lookout tower and restaurant). Always beautiful valley views. Sometimes icy in winter! (so also today).

Because I had an appointment in Zurich anyway, I combined that with a short hike on the Uetliberg.
Very nice hiking trail, partly icy though (lots of fun for joggers downhill!). Always beautiful prospects. When the temperature is just below 0 °, only a few hikers, only from the Uetliberg train station then increasing migration of peoples.

The full moon night 🌝. The path I took today, from Uetliberg Station, via Hohenstein, and then down the other side, really shows that the Uetliberg is a dangerous, often steep area. In the past, people unfamiliar with the area have gotten into real trouble and I think even had to be rescued by helicopter 🚁.

From Triemli we walked up to Uetliberg. Short steep sections, easy to do, interesting nature. Wonderful view at the summit 🤩. We took the Uetlibahn back to Zurich HB, and from there we continued our wonderful day 🌞 🥾 🛳 ☕️️ 🥘🤩🤩
