Bruno Weber Sculpture Park
The Bruno Weber Skulpturenpark is a little off-centre (it is situated in the suburbs of Zurich, in Dietikon, stop: Gjuchstrasse Dietikon), but it is worth going there to visit. Children love it, not only because of the abundant vegetation, but especially because this park is inhabited by extraordinary (cement) creatures onto which they can climb without being scolded!top of page
