Deep Time Walk is a transformative journey through 4.6bn years of Earth history via a 4.6km guided walk. It is an invitation to view the world differently, encouraging positive action and advocacy for a regenerative Earth.
Why? A Deep Time Walk is a way of grasping the vastness of Earth's 4.6 billion year history when each step counts for one million years. Just by putting one foot in front of another, we’ll experience the phenomenal story of the evolution of life on our planet and glimpse how humans have evolved in the blink of a geological eye, resulting in today’s man-made climate and nature polycrises.
How?
- 'Check in' is open from 16.45 at Landiwiese, Wollishofen. This is the grass field opposite the BP gasoline station on the lake side of Wollishofen Bahnhof (see map)
- We will start at 17.00 sharp.
- We will walk a 4.6km geological timeline along the lake (technically hiking route 84) through Burkliplatz and Utoquai. We will end at Zürihorn, in close walking distance to various trams and Bahnhof Tiefenbrunnen.
- Bring water to drink and a snack. We will pause at various points along the timeline that match important developments in our planet and the development of life. We will take the time halfway to sit for 10 minutes, but no more.
How much? The walk will be led
