    The path (mostly paved) meanders along lush Swiss meadows from town to town. Although the mountains where visible in the distance there were surprising few views of the lakes below (Zugersee, Vierwaldstättersee).

    Easy roundtrip in the Baar area, ok to take children or dogs. In the Lorze valley, the GPS data is somewhat inaccurate due to high rock walls on boths sides of the trail, so when in doubt, one should stick to the officia...

    There is one hill at either the beginning or the end which is pretty steep. Otherwise, really easy and great walk.

    Instead of circling around the flat Zugersee, This route takes an uphill via Verena Blasenberg, gets into the Zugerberg and then falls into Walchwil and continues through the lake ride.
