One last radio tower and we arrive at the Felsenegg station with a last view over the lake. The cable car ride gives us a glorious look back at Uetliberg and then it's all over. Now is a good time to do the hike since the S10 isn't going to Uetliberg due to construction, so all the tourists would have to climb up ~400m and few actually do. So even on very beautiful days you're basically alone up there.

The hike to Felsenegg is simple but lovely in the evening sun.

Onwards to Felsenegg! The direct route down from Uetliberg is closed off. Fortunately only to gentlemen in suits and hats so I took it anyways and survived. Past a mountainbike trail to another view point of the lake and mountains. Here the Planetweg opens up a bit more and we walk past some lovely fields…

You also have some great views onto Zurich from there:
1. Bürkliplatz with the Reformierte Kirche Enge in the foreground and the Quaibrücke in the background.
2. Zürichhorn with the Fischerstube restaurant. Here's a dusk/night video of that area: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s-MIlrw5pkc
3. Zürich HB with the Sihl and Landesmuseum.
4. Triemlispital, where I spent some time last year: https://chaos.social/@salkinium/112506289165471566

On top of Uetliberg, you're greeted by a viewing tower and a giant radio tower (with upside down railway tracks?). Very nerd friendly. At dusk this place turns quite cozy, I made a simple video about it last summer.

Then the path slightly bends and you can see the whole Zürichsee with the Voralpen in the distance (if it weren't so cloudy). There's a part where the original path slid down the hill and they just gave up and put some steel stairs there. You can also see the entrance to the Uetlibergtunnel.

Update: fence kitty has turned into lap kitty. Very soft, but spent most of her time listening to something in the field. And then after about 10mins of gentle petting just… left. I guess I'm not as interesting as the mice.

Update: still camouflaged on the same spot lol. Still doesn't move even if you get very close. No touching allowed tho.

Update: still alive, but turned into a blur. Still very cuddly, even side belly is allowed! But full belly is still a trap, otherwise very cute.
