Aspweg

Aspweg goes from Bellariastrasse to Mutschellenstrasse, but it's interrupted between Kurfistenstrasse and Scheideggstrasse. It is named after the old location name "uff Aspen" (attested in 1424), which indicates the presence of aspen trees growing there; additionally, the ancestral home of the "Asper von Wollishofen" family is located on Scheideggstrasse. (I am honestly not sure if they're talking about the family Asper, from Wollishofen, or if that's a whole family name unit! Maybe a bit of both?)

That was a particularly fluffy hortensia.

Oh look, the lake!

A paved path with stairs and metallic railings between trees. A 4-story building is visible behind the trees.
