Eschenberg, Mountain summit near Winterthur, Switzerland.
The Eschenberg summit reaches 597 meters above sea level and extends across 8.5 square kilometers of forested terrain in the canton of Zürich.
The earliest human traces on Eschenberg date back to prehistoric burial mounds, with documented settlements appearing in written records from 1246.
The Eschenberg forest has maintained traditional usage rights for local residents since 1264, when Winterthur's city charter first established these privileges.
