Buechberg, Mountain summit in Schwyz, Switzerland
Buechberg is a mountain that rises between Uznach and Nuolen, reaching 631 meters above sea level. Its steep slopes provide views down to Lake Zurich and the Linth River below.
The rock formations on Buechberg come from the molasse period, when sedimentary layers built up millions of years ago during the Swiss Plateau's development. These stone layers tell the geological story of the region.
Local residents maintain a network of walking paths across Buechberg, connecting different communities while preserving traditional routes through the landscape.
Several walking trails cross through the area, with the main route starting near Tuggen and connecting to different viewpoints. The paths are well-maintained and link the surrounding communities together.
A 380-kilovolt power transmission line runs across the mountain's northeastern section. A local quarry continues to extract Bollinger Sandstone from the area.
