Irchel, Mountain summit near Zurich, Switzerland
The Irchel summit reaches 694 meters above sea level and features limestone formations along its northern slopes in the canton of Zurich.
During the early 20th century, geologists discovered important fossil remains in the Irchel's sedimentary layers, contributing to regional paleontological research.
Local farmers maintain traditional agricultural practices on the lower slopes of Irchel, preserving centuries-old methods of land cultivation and animal grazing.
Multiple marked hiking trails lead to the summit from surrounding villages, with the eastern path offering the most gradual ascent for inexperienced hikers.
The summit contains observation points that allow visitors to see both the Rhine River valley and the northern Swiss plateau on clear days.
