Three bridges over the Lorze

Highlight • Bridge

Interesting tour along the Lorze, can then be continued along the Sihl.
PS: Two bridges..., not three.

Highlight • Trail

This is where tar and gravel roads and bike trails meet! It is only a stone's throw to the Gottschalkenberg restaurant.

The riding along the lorze is a beautiful very slightly downhill way back from Aegeri to Zug and always great to stop for picknick.

Unfortunately I didn't record the start from Zug.

Since on such a beautiful Sunday everyone 🤡 is out and about on their motorbike, convertible or other fun vehicle 😤, I mostly avoided the streets and fought my way up to Gottschalken on side roads and forest paths against the wind.
I could even see the huge raft made of logs from the log rafters on Lake Aegeri from …

I still have to get used to it: With the eBike, I can now ride distances I would never have done with the BIO!
Steep climbs are suddenly doable, as are longer, longer rides. 😊
With the BIO, I wouldn't have ridden so far in the evening.

A varied tour from the north up the Gottschalkenberg, then towards Gubel, Ägeri, and along the Lorze back to Zug.

There's still some snow in the shadow of the Gottschalkenberg, so I took the road for the last part of the climb today.

Then I turned right a little too early and ended up in a dead end 🙈.

Next time, at km 21.8, I first go straight ahead and then turn right. I can't go up the bends; they are too steep, have steps and today they are too wet.
