The Adlisberg is 701 m above sea level. M. high hill on the eastern edge of the city of Zurich in Switzerland .
location
The majority of wooded hills located between the valleys of Lake Zurich / Limmat and the Glatt making it part of the Pfannenstiel - Höhenzugs between the right bank of Lake Zurich and the left Greifensee -Ufer. To the northwest, the Adlisberg merges with the Allmend Fluntern (600 m) in the Zürichberg (670 m). In a south-westerly direction, beyond Witikon, join the Öschbrig (696 m), at Forch the Wassberg (748 m) and then the actual Pfannenstiel (853 m).
On the steeper south and west flanks of the Adlisberg, the Zurich quarters of Hottingen , Hirslanden and Witikon stretch up to the flat, wooded hilltop . The upper part of Hottingen on the west side of the hill is called Dolder and is a residential area in Zurich. The hamlet of Tobelhof , which belongs to the city of Zurich , the village of Gockhausen and the neighboring hamlet of Geeren are located on a terrace on the north side . The latter belong to the town of Dübendorf , which lies at the northwestern foot of the Adlisberg in the Glatttal. The flanks of the hill are cut by several deep ravines - including those from Hornbach and Wolfbach .
Recreation area
The Adlisberg with its extensive forest is an important local recreation area . Some restaurants are available for day trippers. On the eastern edge of the hilltop, on the Loorenkopf (690 meters above sea level), there is a 33-meter-high observation tower that offers a panorama over Lake Zurich and into the Glatt Valley. In the Stöckentobel there is a stone elephant in the stream. A small golf course has been laid out at the Grand Hotel Dolder , a little further up there is a wave pool , miniature golf course , driving range and the Dolder artificial ice rink , which was built in 1930 and is the largest open artificial ice rink in Europe. In summer, the Live at Sunset music festival takes place on this facility . There are numerous tennis clubs around the hill .
At the same time, the Adlisberg is also shaped by traffic. The Dolderbahn , a cogwheel train , enables a quick ascent out of the city. The busy Tobelhofstrasse connects Zurich with Gockhausen and Dübendorf, another Witikon with the zoo and Fluntern. In addition, the Adlisberg is crossed by the almost five kilometer long Zürichberg tunnel of the Zürich S-Bahn .
history
Around 1130, the Duelstein Castle was built on the eastern slope , the seat of the Lords of Dübendorf. It burned down in 1611. Most of the forest, however, belonged to the monastery on the Zürichberg , after the Reformation of the city of Zurich and the communities of Hottingen and Fluntern. The Grand Hotel was built in the Dolder between 1897 and 1899, and today it characterizes the entire quarter.
At the beginning of the 1970s, the city of Zurich pursued the idea of building a forest town on the Adlisberg . 45 hectares of forest were to be cleared in order to build a long line of residential towers with apartments for 100,000 people. The lined up blocks of flats, some of which were up to 100 meters high, should stretch for more than two kilometers around the mountain along the edge of the hilltop. The canton did not approve the clearing .
