The route
Hönggerberg – above the rooftops shows these exact features. Starting along the Limmat, the route shows soon its uncomfortable side, when the steep ascend starts. Always keep in mind, that in the end the reward of the best view over Zurich pays multiple times back. Really it does, believe me. But to be honest, it’s no secret and it isn’t only accessible over this very route. On the contrary you can drive up by car or by bus, but no one has the combination of the still resonating sweet release by mastering the ascend and the unexpected uncovering beauty of Zurich.
