Uetliberg TV-tower, Television tower on Uetliberg mountain, Switzerland
The concrete transmission tower rises 186.7 meters above Uetliberg mountain, serving as a primary broadcast station for the Zurich metropolitan area.
The current tower, completed in 1990 at a cost of 11 million Swiss francs, replaced a 75-meter structure from 1953 that pioneered television broadcasting in Switzerland.
The tower represents Switzerland's commitment to telecommunications infrastructure, providing essential radio and television services to the German-speaking region of Zurich.
While the tower remains closed to general public access, visitors can reach the site through multiple hiking trails that lead to the summit of Uetliberg.
The tower's foundation extends 11 meters deep with a 16-meter diameter, supporting a structure that weighs 4,550 tons and can sway up to 2.2 meters in strong winds.
