Hiking along the Uetliberg

The observation tower

The day after our trip to Rapperswil, we hiked along the ridge of the Uetliberg.  This is the classic hike of Zurich, convenient to reach by transit, very close to the city, with a spectacular panoramic view and a hotel with restaurant right at the top, next to a big tower with stairs up to the obvervation platform.


I took a set of pictures and stitched them together into a panorama.  Unfortunately I didn't use a tripod or fixed aperture, so the tiling is rather visible.  Now I know how to do it better - maybe next time we'll be able to see the Alps too!
