Not only does Zurich's cultural and festival life take place here, but also the famous Sechseläuten festival takes place every spring, when the even more famous "Böögg" is burned. The opera house is right next door.

If you like to be in the middle of nature, in the cool of the forest, then ride your bike along the Sihl. It's only sometimes full on the weekends.

July 5, 2025,8 Sihlbrugg - Hirzel Höchi - Hüttnersee - Stadt Zürich

We headed back home to Hüttnersee.

The bike path often went through the forest, which is dense now in summer and provides a lovely canopy of shade.

We made a quick stop for a swim in Hüttnersee before heading back to town in the evening light.
