Hausen am Albis

Hausen am Albis lies along the upper Reppisch valley, between the wooded Albis ridge and the open farmland of Zurich’s Säuliamt. The municipality sits south of Zurich, where low pre-Alpine hills create a notably quieter setting than the city’s lakeside districts. Türlersee, a small lake at the head of the Reppisch, is part of the local landscape and is used for walks and seasonal swimming. Nearby Kappel Abbey, a former Cistercian monastery, is associated with the Reformation-era conflicts that culminated in the Second War of Kappel in 1531. Hausen am Albis gives travellers a close look at everyday Swiss countryside, with fields, woodland and convenient connections to Zurich.
