Planetenweg Uetliberg-Felsenegg, Planet trail on Uetliberg mountain, Switzerland
The Planetenweg extends for 6 kilometers between Uetliberg and Felsenegg, offering educational stations about the solar system throughout the path.
The trail was designed to demonstrate astronomical distances by using a scale where each meter walked equals one million kilometers in space.
Swiss engineers constructed this educational path to help visitors understand the scale of the solar system while experiencing mountain landscapes.
From Zurich Main Station, visitors need 31 minutes to reach the trail start, and the complete hike takes approximately two hours to finish.
Each planetary station along the path maintains precise mathematical proportions, representing the actual distances between celestial bodies in our solar system.
