Töss

Highlight • River

The Töss and the river along in and of itself highly recommended. I only question the highlight here. Point on a bridge on a busy road. And Tössegg is also quite far away from this point ;-)
In addition, many wrong photos assigned :-(

Irchel Tower

Highlight • Monument

Beautiful view of the wine country and with a clear view of the Alps. The view compensates for the steep ascent by bike to the foot of the tower. For the hungry, it has two fireplaces and different seating.

Lookout

Highlight • Viewpoint

The Irchels' Guard is part of an ancient alarm system that was used until the 19th century. Alarms were used to relay signals, which in turn were registered by another guard, for example the Uetliberg. Today you can enjoy undisturbed the great view.
