Zoo Zürich

Elephants, rhinos, penguins and 20 species of monkeys are just some of the animals on the Zürichberg that will transport you into an exotic world – with all your senses.
Enjoy the sight of the snow leopards in their rocky Himalaya landscape, watch the Andean bears as they go climbing in search of food in their misty mountain world, and admire the giant turtles swimming in the Masoala Rainforest, where it is warm and humid all year round – a fragrant, tropical green oasis, a piece of Madagascar live on 13,000 square yards.

Lake of Zurich

The slightly curved Lake Zürich is surrounded, on the left side by yet dense forests and hills stretching from Albis to Zimmerberg, and, on the right side, by the Pfannenstil region.

Water flowing into the lake from the cliffs of both chains of hills cut deep gorges into the moraines and deposited sand and gravel in both coastal areas. The moraines formed elements which left their mark on the landscape. Looking down the south-eastern side from Zürich, the suburbs of Zürich become increasingly replaced by more rural coastal zones.

The Pfannenstiel - the Zurich Mountain

The Pfannenstiel is the "other" Zürich mountain, the first being the Uetliberg.

A number of stories are in circulation about the background of its name.

One says that it comes from the "Pechpfanne", used in the 17th century for signaling with fire and smoke.

More probable is the fact that the elongated shape of the mountain looks like a panhandle.

Thermal Baths & Spa Zürich

Experience the new Thermal Baths & Spa Zürich: swim through the hundred-year-old stone vaults of the former Hürlimann brewery right inside the mountain, or bathe in daylight, in the open-air rooftop pool, from where you can enjoy panoramic views of Zürich. The fresh thermal water gushes straight out of Zürich’s ‘Aqui’ source, allowing guests to benefit from valuable minerals and water temperatures of 95 to 106 degrees Fahrenheit. Choose from the Thermal Spa World or an Irish-Roman Spa Ritual. Immerse yourself and allow yourself to be carried off to another world and enchanted by the unique architecture and the inimitable building structure.
