Felsenegg is located some 7 km to the southwest of the city of Zürich on the Albis chain, between the municipalities of Stallikon and Adliswil. The hilltop station of Luftseilbahn Adliswil-Felsenegg aerial tramway is situated on Felsenegg. The Albis area is one of the most important recreation areas of greater Zürich. The area is mostly wooded, but also has extensive fields, often reaching to the summit, some cultivated, some used as pastures for cows or sheep.
Being close to the city of Zürich, the area is heavily visited. Felsenegg includes a restaurant located at the summit overlooking the Sihl Valley and Lake Zürich to the east, and Reppisch valley, Türlersee and the so-called Säuliamt to the west. Well maintained hiking trails from Uetliberg and Uetlibergbahn mountain station to the north, and from the Albis Pass to the south are highly frequented. Türlersee and Säuliamt are popular hiking destinations, too, as well as a mountain pass and a trail, built between 1908 and 1912, heading for Adliswil respectively Hausen am Albis. Among other touristic attractions is the Planet trail which starts near Uetliberg Kulm. The Planet trail represents the sun and each of the planets at a billionth of their actual size and distance from each other, and each planet is represented at its scaled down distance from the sun by a billionth size metal sphere, either atop or embedded in a stone mound. Felsenegg coincides with the midpoint of Pluto's elliptical orbit, as represented by the Planet trail, and the "Pluto" mound can be found approximately 20m from the Restaurant Felsenegg .
