View Over the Vineyards to the Limmat Valley

Highlight • Viewpoint

The path above the vineyard is very beautiful and makes up for the rather steep climb. With good visibility, you can see not only the Limmat Valley but also the Alps.

Gubrist Summit

Highlight • Summit

There's nothing to see here. What's special about the Gubrist is that you don't normally hike over it, but rather drive through the motorway tunnel that runs almost directly beneath the summit, one of the busiest routes in Switzerland.

Russian Tunnel (Russians' Cave)

Highlight • Cave

Here is the entrance to a former tunnel that served the Russian troops in 1799 as an escape tunnel from the French troops. Was forgotten and was rediscovered some time ago.
