Big Root Trail Zurich

Highlight • Trail

Even more roots than the small trail next to it. Always a detour value.

Tip by

4.24 km

The 42-meter-high Hardwald observation tower was built entirely from local wood and was inaugurated in 2022. There are a total of 210 steps to climb until you reach the top platform and are rewarded with a beautiful panoramic view of the entire region. The tower has a barbecue area, a fountain and toilet facilities.
