Küsnacht Erratic Boulder

Highlight • Natural Monument

The dragon's head (official name) hasn't been around for that long. Only since 2013. He witnessed a huge rock fall. The boulder is made of Nagelfluh (Wulp gravel).

The village brook ripples in many waterfalls leisurely through the Küsnachter Tobel towards Zürisee. The natural pools, which arise between the individual waterfalls, offer themselves on hot summer days, especially for children as a good swimming.

Pfannenstiel Tower

Highlight • Viewpoint

The view is fantastic if you have no fear of heights and dare to climb the tower (which, by the way, originally stood on the Bachtel) using the iron stairs.

Hochwacht Pfannenstiel — Restaurant and Viewpoint

Highlight • Viewpoint

Popular excursion destination on the Pfannenstiel. In addition to a good restaurant, there is an observation tower, plenty of seating and plenty of sun when the weather is right. A worthwhile destination, even in winter.

Upper Section of the Meilemer Tobel

Highlight (Segment) • Gorge

The Dorfbachtobel leads from Meilen up to the hamlet of Toggwil. It surprises with an unpredictable route and an ambience that is reminiscent of the valleys in Ticino. Crystal clear water rushes over eroded stones, dense, wildly overgrown slopes, waterfalls and stone bridges. Idyllic. Refreshingly cool in summer, now sunny and warm in spring.
