Trampelpfade am Uetliberg
The Uetliberg (the 870m tall hill rising above Zürich) is full of fascinating and sometimes surprisingly challenging unofficial hiking trails ("Trampelpfade"). Documenting these has been the masterwork of Martin "Uto869" on Hikr. Inspired by his work, I have made an interactive map of all of his routes and even some additional trails. (Announcement on Hikr)
The Uetliberg is constantly changing. Old paths become overgrown, new trails appear, or existing trails are temporarily closed for forestry works. I try to keep this map up to date, but I cannot give any guarantees about its accuracy. If you have any corrections for the map, then please let me know!
