Highlight • Lake

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.

Albis-Hochwacht Observation Tower

Highlight • Viewpoint

The observation tower is in the truest sense of the word the highlight of a run through the Sihlwald. If the calves are not glowing yet, you can change that on the 153 steps to the observation deck. At the top there is the reward by return: In good weather you have a breathtaking view to the Bernese Alps and the Jura.
