On the Slopes of Zurich’s Käferberg

Käferberg is a small wooded mountain located right in Zurich city, offering both magnificent views of the Limmat Valley as well as splendid scenes of forest foliage.

I am a spare-time travel writer, singer, and songwriter based out of Zurich, Switzerland. Originally from sunny California, I packed my bags after high school and moved to Norway to be an exchange student, a decision that would change the course of my life.

Borne out of a passion for good travel literature and landscape photography, this is my humble little endeavor to capture, remember, and share the beautiful things I’ve come across on my journeys. It’s also where you can find some of my music! Happy perusing, happy listening. —Greg
