View of Zurich from the Waid

Highlight • Viewpoint

From the Waid you have a wide view over Zurich and all the way to the lake. On clear days you can even see the Alps in the distance. The view is particularly beautiful in the early morning or in the evening when the light bathes the roofs in warm tones. Many people come here to capture this moment or simply to enjoy the peace and quiet. Whether for a short walk or a little time out - the Waid is a popular place to escape the hustle and bustle of the city and see the Limmat city from above.

Altberg Observation Tower

Highlight • Viewpoint

The tower is located on the Altberg at 630 meters and packs another 30 meters on top. You reach the observation deck over 147 steps - at the top you have in good weather a breathtaking view of the warehouses, to Zurich and up to the peaks of the Alps.

Next to the tower is the Waldschänke, where you can treat yourself to a refreshment and strengthen yourself. It is open every day, except Tuesdays.

Loorenkopf Tower

From the Loorenkopf you have a great view over parts of Lake Zurich and Lake Greifen. And the mountain panorama is the icing on the cake. The tower is easy to reach and open to the public.
