Am Hönggerberg

Am Hönggerberg is a path and a bridge that go from Wehrlisteig to Gsteigstrasse. It is a road on the ridge of the Hönggerberg (one of Zürich high points), hence the name. Höngg may derive from "Hoinga", meaning the people living on the heights (making Hönggerberg the mountain of the people living on the heights :D ).

A streetlight covered with leaves in front of a yellow building and a red building (both 2-3 story high, looking like farm buildings)

I'm always amused when I find a street light covered in leaves :)
