Hiking from Zug up to Kriegerhorn summit
The hiking tour from Zug up to the Kriegerhorn summit is worth the effort, as you will find mythical creatures along the steep forest path through the forest full of mythology.
The fabulous forest "Sagenwald" is part of the three-day stage hike "The Green Ring" and surprises with hidden installations and entertaining legends that have been staged with a lot of wit and charm for hikers. Along the steep forest path you will be surprised by petrified magicians and cunning witches before you are rewarded with a magnificent view over the Zuger valley. This hike suits perfectly for a picnic, surrounded by the fairytale landscape, far away from the hustle and bustle of everyday life in the city. The Kriegerhorn, which is located at an altitude of 2,173 m, is the crowning glory of this hike.
Directions
At the hiking starting point Rüfiplatz, catch the hiking bus towards Zug. Get off at the bus stop "Kirchle". Follow the asphalt road through the village as far as the fork to the fishpond. A meadow path branches off to the right, and leads up through the "Graben" to the Alpine pasture fence. Follow the path diagonally to the right, slightly ascending between the cable car support towers 7 and 8 to the edge of the forest. A forest path then rises steeply through the Sagenwald forest up to Balmalp hut. From there continue on a fairly wide alpine pasture trail that is at first quite flat but soon becomes steeper to the right up to the summit of the Kriegerhorn summit (2,173 m).
Suggestions
In the book "A Samurai on the Kriegerhorn" legends are combined with modern stories and lead hikers to the installations along the path.
