Hint

Intro

An ascent through the landslide area of Goldau, with its matchlessly beautiful nature and wealth of rare orchids.

Description

Starting in Goldau in the direction of Steinerberg, the road branches off to Spitzibüel. While keeping the landslide area of Goldau in sight at al times, it climbs up to the “Oberer Spizibüel” (upper Spizibüel) alpine farm.

After a brief passage where you have to carry your bike and a single trail, you will reach Rufiberg. Thereafter, a long rapid descent to Lake Zug is guaranteed, then through cherry orchards in the valley back to the starting point.

An enjoyable tour includes the careful planning of the same. Please inform yourself in advance at the local information center about the route and weather conditions. Depending on the season and weather conditions, this route may be blocked or interrupted
