The Rieterpark is Zurich's largest and most impressive landscape garden and is located in the Zurich Enge area of the city, not far from Lake Zurich.

The park and its villa (today known as Museum Rietberg) were built in 1855 and were taken over at the end of the 19th century by the Winterthur industrial family Rieter, becoming the property of the city in 1945. Some beech trees in the park are still part of the original grove and are over 150 years old.

When the weather is clear, the Glarus Alps provide a visual end point, creating a sense of unending vastness.
