Especially in summer, when it's hot, very nice. With many possibilities for grilling. Best in the early morning.

I agree with @Tichi. The route is truly dangerous; the cars drive fast and show little consideration for the bikers. I've never been more scared for myself than on this route! Take care 🐞☘️.

Zug Castle existed since the 11th century as the estate of the Counts of Lenzburg. At the beginning of the 13th century, the Counts of Kyburg, who had ruled the Zug region since the extinction of the Lenzburg dynasty in 1173, possibly founded the city of Zug on the shores of Lake Zug, immediately west of the eponymous Zug Castle. Uphill from the city lay older settlement centers, namely the parish church of St. Michael, Zug Castle, and a village of the same name. Source: Wikipedia
