Between Lake Aegeri and Lake Zug, the Lorze River runs through a deep canyon for most of its course. Wonderful stretches through extensive woodlands characterize this hike. Further down the river, the valley opens up, and the Lorze runs towards Lake Zug in a wide curve. About halfway there the fairytale world of the Höllgrotten caves is a wonderful attraction to visit.
