The Hurbig mountain is 546 meters above sea level and towers above the village of Buchberg. It features a cozy fire pit with benches and a grill. A playground is located next to it. The simple Hurbig hut can be rented for just CHF 10 per day.

There is also a watchtower ruin on the Rhinsberg. It was used by the canton of Zurich until the 19th century, but today only the stone foundations can be seen.
