5. Aare GorgeMeiringen The Aare Gorge is a section of the river Aare that carves through a limestone ridge near the town of Meiringen, in the Bernese Oberland region of Switzerland. The gorge is an indirect product of glaciation; 10,000 years ago, just as the Ice Age was coming to an end, torrential runoff water from melting glaciers eroded a deep, narrow chasm through the limestone barrier. Although barely one mile long, this passage is bordered by sheer cliffs up to 165 feet high on either side. The gorge varies in width from some 30 metres at its widest to just 1 metre at its narrowest.The gorge is a popular tourist attraction, many visitors attracted by the nearby Reichenbach Falls, which Sir Arthur Conan Doyle selected as the setting for Sherlock Holmes' murder by Professor Moriarty.

MFO-Park
Der MFO-Park entstand 2002 im Rahmen der Gebietsentwicklung «Zentrum Zürich-Nord» als zweite von vier Parkanlagen, die das auf einer bisher unzugänglichen Industriezone neu entstandene Quartier beim Bahnhof Oerlikon prägen.
Der MFO-Park, benannt nach der ehemaligen Maschinenfabrik Oerlikon (MFO), zeichnet sich aus durch seine moderne und ungewöhnliche Gestaltung. Das grosse «Park-Haus» ist eine doppelwandige, von Stahlseilen als Rankhilfe überzogene Konstruktion, eine nach drei Seiten offene «Treillage» in alter gartenarchitektonischer Manier, die von Pflanzen überwachsen wird.
Die Zwischenräume der Doppelwände sind durchzogen von Treppenläufen, Wandelgängen und auskragenden Loggien. Das Sonnendeck auf dem höchsten Punkt bietet einen Ausblick über Zürich-Nord.
Der MFO-Park wurde mehrfach ausgezeichnet: • 2010: Europäischer Gartenpreis des EGHN (European Garden Heritage Network) in der Kategorie «Zeitgenössische Gärten» • 2007: Nomination für den International Urban Landscape Award • 2006: Auszeichnung für gute Bauten der Stadt Zürich • 2006: Auszeichnung guter Bauten im Kanton Zürich - Annerkennung • 2004: MAX on top Wien, Freiraum 02, 2. Platz • 2004: Play & Leisure Award Friedrichshafen • 2003: Public design-Preis Düsseldorf • 2003: BDLA-Preis (Bund deutscher Landschaftsarchitekten) - Würdigung
