The 42-meter-high Hardwald observation tower was built entirely from local wood and was inaugurated in 2022. There are a total of 210 steps to climb until you reach the top platform and are rewarded with a beautiful panoramic view of the entire region. The tower has a barbecue area, a fountain and toilet facilities.

A little too many people around the Hardwald observation tower today on Easter Sunday. But otherwise a nice place to stay, enjoy the view and have a barbecue.

Impressive observation tower with fascinating construction. Good to walk up and enjoy the fantastic view at the top. Watching the planes as they climb towards Kloten or enjoying the view towards Uetliberg or the lake..... All around great impressions and a beautiful panorama.

The newly created tower is made of 100 percent wood from the Hardwald. It is 41.5 meters high. A beautiful picnic area with two barbecue areas, benches and a fountain was built right next to the tower.
