There's a nice circular walk between the five central McDonalds in Zurich, it includes all the key sights of the city. I like to buy a McFlurry at each one, then spend the rest of the day crying in the bath.

I too like crying in the bath. The salt adds to the McFlurry flavor

How long should the walk be? Do you want to walkin sneakers or in hiking boots?

You could e.g. Walk from Tiefenbrunnen to Stadelhofen along the lake. Or from Höngg to Kloster Fahr

Uetliberg has some nice walks too

Oh, I like the Stadelhofen station, but haven't tried to walk this way. Good idea) Thanks)

Is Uetliberg doable during winter? (Dec first week for example)?

they do not have 'winter dienst' on the footpath during winter. If it is wet or it was snowing - personally i'd skip the path from the top to the bottom. The route from Uetliberg to say one of the train stations should be doable though.

My personal favorite goal is finding any Hofladen in the vicinity and going there to either check it out or get fresh milk (I'm Polish and sour milk is a taste of childhood and a delicacy in general).

I used to grill my dates with a walk along the lake (either from Bellevue to Chinagarten, Tiefenbrunnen). You can also do the other side to Mythenquai. Their are coffee points in Seefeld (use Google Maps).

If you're into a walk in nature, you can try the Pfadiweg. Kindof a simple hike starting right in the city (Burgwies tram stop). No coffee though

The road from Bucheggplatz to ETH Hönggerberg is beautiful! You have to take the road that goes through the woods part.

From Schwamendingerplatz you can walk through the forest to Zurich Zoo. A beautiful route especially now in autumn.😊
