Description
WikipediaBuechberg (also spelled Buchberg) is an elongated molasse hill in the Swiss canton of Schwyz (March District), located southeast of the Obersee (Lake Zurich). At 631 metres (2,070 ft), its summit is significantly lower than the surrounding mountains of the Appenzell Alps (e.g. Höchhand, Speer, Federispitz) and Schwyzer Alps (e.g. Planggenstock), which are over 1,300 metres (4,300 ft) high. Buechberg is traversed by two parallel tunnels of the A53 motorway, which joins the A3 motorway south of the hill. Buechberg is also popular for hiking and contains a bicycle route.
