Zürichberg, Mountain summit in Zürich, Switzerland

Zürichberg rises 676 meters above sea level between the Limmat and Glatt rivers, offering panoramic views of Lake Zürich and surrounding landscapes.

The western slopes of Zürichberg transformed from natural terrain into residential zones during the 19th century, marked by construction of grand mansions.

The University of Zürich established its Irchelpark campus on Zürichberg in 1979, incorporating the Anthropological Museum and Staatsarchiv Zürich within its grounds.

Multiple transportation options serve Zürichberg, including tram route 6, the Rigiblick funicular, and the Dolderbahn rack railway connecting to Adlisberg.

The Zürichberg Tunnel carries a section of the Zürich S-Bahn beneath the mountain, connecting different parts of the city through underground rail service.
