Wald

Wald has served as a textile-manufacturing centre in Zurich’s Oberland since the 19th century. Set in the upper valley of the Jona River, the municipality occupies a hilly part of the Zürcher Oberland near the Bachtel, one of the region’s prominent high points. The Jona continues towards Lake Zurich, connecting this former industrial town with the wider lakeside area. Textile mills once drove Wald’s growth, and industrial buildings remain part of its identity alongside a compact centre, farms and woodland. Paths through the valley lead into the surrounding uplands, revealing a side of the canton far removed from urban Zurich.
