This small pond is a great place to take a break. The shore is wonderfully overgrown and gives the lake an enchanted atmosphere.

Bürglenstutz - Highest point of the Albis chain (915 meters)

Highlight • Summit

Especially in autumn and in spring you can enjoy a beautiful view here. On the way to the Albis restaurant, you come to a ridge section that gradually recovers after the devastation caused by the storm. A good reason to go there again and to observe this process.

Sihlwald Forest Trail

Highlight • Forest

The Sihlwald is a pristine natural forest south of Zurich where logging has been prohibited for years. Fallen giants of trees, moss-covered trunks, and dense foliage create a wild and romantic atmosphere. Along the Sihl River, you'll experience tranquility, birdsong, and a pure connection with nature – true wilderness right on the city's doorstep.
