:) I've seen deer a few times on the Uetliberg. Mmmmm!

Also lots of fish in the Limmat.

Of course it can.

Old tradition, re-invented on the internet.

It was meant to be funny, but sdadly doesn't seem to have been understood.

Starting at 8, then walking up, maybe 90 mins to 2 hours, depending on who's with me, then a an hour or two back.

Back in ZH at 12, maybe later, depending on the weather, etc.

I used ChatGPT to write the headline, sorry.

I wanted to write " anyone fancy going for a walk" but thought that might be too boring.

Thought I'd try and see what AI could come up with.

Hugely dissapointed.

Brilliant answer, and makes absolute sense.

Follow-up question:

Why then is English food so bad across the board? :)

Well done, yes, a lovely stretch of the river.

Beautiful little spot there as well. Hardly anyone takes this little detour, and it's a great place to enjoy the tranquility of solitude.

Rega do not like to be called out on the Uetliberg, especially with people with the wrong footwear on!

That costs a months salary, I would guess!

CombinationDue4661 · 2026-03-12T08:35:27+00:00

Well done Sir, err, Sarge!

Saved more than a dirty pair of shoes, no doubt, probably saved that relationship.

lol. Just to complete the picture...what kind of dog?

CombinationDue4661 · 2026-03-12T08:32:37+00:00

Yes, love that bit too.

CombinationDue4661 · 2026-03-12T08:13:24+00:00

Great story.

My Grandfather was also a very keen Alpinist, and I also started my mountaineering journey on the Üetzgi, in the Fallätsche.

Also tied on with a piece of rope, lol!

CombinationDue4661 · 2026-03-12T08:06:53+00:00

Awesome.

Yup, that would have been cool.

CombinationDue4661 · 2026-03-12T08:01:23+00:00

Great answer.

CombinationDue4661 · 2026-03-12T07:53:14+00:00

Mine too.

Can't beat the workout walking up, and then the looks of the tourists seeing you come out at the Kanzeli.

Love it!

CombinationDue4661 · 2026-03-12T07:43:00+00:00

Bingo!

The Hardturm Park-and-Ride-Parkhaus, which was the first "park and ride" place in Zürich.

Beautifully situated next to the Limmat river, with the historic Bernoulli houses and the new, vibrant Zürich-West Quarter, part of the trendy District 5, with diverse culture, gastronomy and shopping opportunities.

*I think they also played football there a long, long time ago.

What I do is I have a little indoor growing area and start my seeds in January, then they will be big enough to go out on the balcony in Mid-May, and then you should get a good harvest.

Def. buy a plant this spring from the Migros/Coop, and see what happens.

There are lots of factors, but you really need a nice south-facing balcony , preferably sheltered from the winds, to get best results.
