Zürichberg

Its highest point is about 270 metres above the Limmat and it is part of a chain of hills, such as Käferberg, Adlisberg, Forch and Pfannenstiel, between the Greifensee/Glattal and Lake Zürich.

It is a picturesque location, and the lower western side of the hill is now part of the residential district of Zürich.

Zürich tram route 6, the Rigiblick funicular and the Dolderbahn rack railway all run up to different parts of the hill.

The Dolderbahn runs up to the Adlisberg, whilst the Zürichberg Tunnel carries trains of the Zürich S-Bahn underneath the hill.

In 1962, the faculty of science of the University of Zürich proposed to establish the Irchelpark campus on the Strickhofareal.
