The Oak Seedling of 1778

Highlight • Natural Monument

The story of an oak seedling is beautifully presented, from its birth in 1778 to 1999 when Lothar swept across the country.
It's a shame that it doesn't say anywhere who built this beautiful complex.

At the Waldhaus Restaurant, there's also a steam train for you to ride. (60 years old)

March 17, 2025,Leichter Rundweg um den die Chatzensee (Katzensee) mit Burgruine

Easy (dog) walk around the two Katzensee lakes. Leashes are required due to the nature reserve.
There is free parking at the start.

January 26, 2025,Rund um den Büsisee

Who doesn't know it from the radio? The Büsisee or, as it is marked on the map, the Katzensee. There is a parking lot right on the main road and a restaurant not far away. The circuit is easy and, despite being close to the city, very rural. The Zurich Oberland is also clearly visible.
