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?)

A paved path going up, with small steps and a rail on the right. There are low-rise buildings on each side and a tree in the background.

That was a particularly fluffy hortensia.
A paved path going down, with small steps and a rail on the left. There are low-rise buildings on each side and the lake and the city are visible in the background.
Oh look, the lake!
A paved path with stairs and metallic railings between trees. A 4-story building is visible behind the trees.
