Zurichberg

Like Uetliberg, Zurichberg is also quite big and has a few hiking routes.

You could either hike up, or take this furnicular. It's about 5-10 minutes ride up.






Unlike the one we took earlier to the other part of Zurichberg, this funicular has a driver. At the terminal, which is the Zurichberg stop, the driver has to alight the furnicular and walk to the end of the furnicular (not a long vehicle thou) and drive the furnicular in the opposite direction. Well good exercise in a way :)

The 2 sisters seem to glow in the light ya :)

We chanced upon this stable where it housed a number of horsies.

Ooh, black hourse :) I was worried it might nibble my head so I didn't dare to stand too close to it. Horses have their temperaments so it's best not to provoke them :>

And we saw a rider, riding without any proper riding equipment. I guess she's the owner's daughter. So nice...

This horse was a little naughty which almost made her slip and fall but she was quite a seasoned rider so managed to control the naughty horsey.

We were wondering why these horses are covered up. To keep them away from the flies? Or they have some diseases?

These are cows which are dark and fury.

This place is less crowded compared to Uetliberg. Well, Uetliberg has a nicer panoramic view I suppose.

Saw a mother having a 'sword play' with his son using a tree brunch. Surprisingly, the son was the one defending and running away instead of the other way round.
Guess the mother too gung ho for him ;p

The familiar traces ;p

This hotel is the most expensive hotel in Zurich. Just a night here on a normal room costs a few hundred Swiss francs. The most expensive suite costs CHF

I wonder who would like to stay in such an expensive and yet out of place hotel.

Overlooking from the hotel, is the makan terrace and a golf course.
