Along the way, wide views repeatedly open up over the Limmattal valley, the surrounding hills, and, with good visibility, towards Zurich and the Alps. The quiet location and the beautiful panorama make this section a real pleasure.

A magnificent viewpoint on the Sännenberg with a wide view down into the Limmattal. From up here, the varied landscape with its villages, fields, forests, and the surrounding mountain ranges can be wonderfully overlooked. Especially in the early morning, when the valley slowly awakens and the light increasingly reveals the landscape, a very special atmosphere unfolds here.
