At a height of 1133 metres a.s.l. the Hörnli is the highest mountain in the canton of Zurich. It's perfect for a short hike through forests and grassland and an easy peak even if you are not much into mountains. Up on the Hörnli you have a view over the hills of Zürich and towards the eastern Alps. Take for example a train to Steg and hike to the top in around 1.5 h. On the peak there is a restaurant where you can rent a kick scooter to ride downhill back to the train station (20/15Sfr).
