👍 Amazing spot for a short escape. Not ideal to reach by foot, we came here by our electric bikes. The wooden tower is hidden between trees. There 3 very nice spots to sit and have barbecue. People often mention tower, view, forest, nice, city, rich, great, wooden, beautiful,

    Nice wooden watchtower, located almost at the forest entrance. It's very close to climb there quickly from the parking. Admission is free, there's no one in there. The view is beautiful and there are tablets with marked mountains drawings.

    It is an absolutely beautiful place, the lookout is so pretty with views all the way to the Jungfrau, Mönch and Eiger! The trek upto it from Dübendorf via Geeren can be pretty tiring as it is quite steep but the forest and final view is worth it. Running, clean and drinkable water is available thanks to a fountain right beside the tower, and the cabin and benches are also nearby for a nice place to camp and relax. Highly recommend it for people in Zürich who want to have a good walk through the forest and some spectacular views of the Alps, Zürichsee as well as Greifensee.

    Perfect for admiring a marvelous view on Zürich and the Zürisee as well as the Greifensee! It’s also one of the few towers where you can go up to the top for free, and then rest on a bench while benefitting from the natural landscape in front

    Superb view of the region and the canopy. The tower is located in a beautiful place in the forest with a picnic area and fireplace, also shelters with tables and benches. It takes about half an hour to reach the tower on foot from Dolderbahn.

    (Translated by Google) A little far from the city center, the winter road is not very good. You can still see most of Zurich on the wooden tower. (Original) 从市中心过去有点远,冬天山上路不太好走。登上木头塔还是能看到大半个苏黎世。

    This place is amazing. You can go here for hiking from fallanden or you can reach witikon friderich and start to walk towards the tower if you want to walk less. But believe me the way as well as the view from top is mesmerizing you will love the city, Alps and lightings of city(if go at evening).

    God bless whoever built this. Seeing Zürich and the Alps from here... wow! And the hike up from Zürich city center is beaaaautiful! I recommend walking up, or at least taking a non-digital bike. Thank you!

    An impressive wooden observation tower with a great view of the city in good weather. There is a seating area inside the tower once you get to the top. ~30 minute walk from the Dolderbahn cog rail station. There is also a picnic/BBQ area, benches, and a water fountain around the tower.

    Amazing views on the mountains! Especially great at Sunset

  • 5/5 Alex E. 8 months ago on Google • 6 reviews
    The tower is about 33m and is a fun climb. At the top is a beautiful view from tower. The tower is free (no admission). Also would recommend checking out other trails in the park.

  • 5/5 Chris S. 1 year ago on Google
    On a clear day, you can see for a very long way from the top of the observation tower. You can see the peaks of Säntis, Rigi, and Pilatus (assuming no haze). There is also a grill place, fountain, and a forest shelter nearby.

  • 5/5 Garret K. 1 year ago on Google
    Very nice park for hiking and biking. The tower has a good view in 3 directions however the view towards Zurich was hindered by trees.

  • 5/5 Balazs K. 3 years ago on Google
    Very nice wooden lookout tower in the middle of the woods, on top on Zürichberg. Combine it with a hike from the city.

  • 5/5 Wattuky 1 year ago on Google
    Nice, quiet place.

  • 4/5 Eirameinah 3 years ago on Google
    The tower reaches over the treetops and thus allows a great view over the lake of Zürich and the alps in the distance (Careful if there's snow the stairs could be really slippery!). Really nice spot, with lots of fireplaces, a picknick area, a small hut and beches in the surrounding area to rest. Since it's so close to the city of Zürich it's easily accesible. For a nice daytrip I recommend to start at one of the surrounding towns (like Pfaffhausen) and hike towards Zürich from there. The tower is a great place for a break on your way.
