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.

Planetary path

Highlight • Trail

A "Planet Trail" leads from Uetliberg to Felsenegg. This trail depicts the distances in the solar system. Each meter of the trail represents a distance of one million kilometers. The hike begins with the sun and continues past the planets to the dwarf planet Pluto.
