Dättenberg, Mountain summit in Zürich, Switzerland

The Dättenberg reaches an elevation of 597 meters and forms a ridge between the lower Töss Valley and the Glatt Valley in Switzerland.

The geological formation of Dättenberg occurred through extensive glacial movements during the last ice age, shaping the current Swiss Plateau landscape.

The western slopes of Dättenberg maintain traditional Swiss agricultural practices through small vineyards that contribute to local wine production.

Multiple hiking trails connect to the summit from different starting points, with the main access route beginning near the Bülach Observatory at 550 meters.

The 1800-meter Dättenberg railway tunnel passes directly beneath the mountain, connecting the cities of Winterthur, Bülach, and Koblenz.
