Alpenpanorama-Weg
Overzicht
Inleiding
Deze afwisselende toer door de Voor-Alpen loopt van het beroemde kloosterdorp Einsiedeln via een oude pelgrimsroute over de Chatzenstrick naar het vrijwel net zo beroemde hoogveengebied van Rothenthurm en via de Raten (let op het uitzicht!) naar het prachtig Meer van Ägeri in het Zugerland.
Beschrijving
Unterägeri is situated in a hilly moraine landscape on the shores of the blue Ägeri lake which is located on the course of the Lorze river and is considered one of the most scenic places in the canton of Zug. With the use of hydroelectric power in the 19th century, industrialisation began and the population increased accordingly. Towards the end of the 19th century, Unterägeri developed into a health resort. Today it is a popular place to live for those who work in the nearby agglomeration.
The hike begins in the centre of the village. After crossing the Lorze, you leave the village and walk past a residential area, the sports field and old farmhouses. Until you reach the tennis courts, the road is mostly paved. This changes after the first hour of hiking: gravel roads, paths and forest roads now alternate until Brunegg.
With the lake of Zug, the pretty hilly landscapes and countless cherry trees in front of you, you hike down the valley towards Zug. After the Chämistal forest, the Verena chapel catches your eye. This baroque chapel used to sit in solitude on the hill far above Zug. Today it is much less exposed due to the growth of the residential areas.
Continuing through the new residential neighbourhoods, the Capuchin convent of Maria Opferung soon follows. In the 15th century, the Capuchins decided to make the education of girls their mission. Their commitment to education as well as the Franciscan monastic life lasted for many centuries to come. It was only in 2003 that the nuns had to discontinue the operation of Zug's first girls' school. Through the charming old town of Zug, you reach the lakeside promenade and shortly afterwards the train station and the finish of this stage which takes only three and a half hours.
De sleutel voor een prettige wandeltocht is onder andere een zorgvuldige planning. Win op voorhand inlichtingen in bij de plaatselijke informatiedienst over de toestand van het traject en de weersomstandigheden. Afhankelijk van het seizoen en de weersomstandigheden kan de route gesloten of onderbroken zijn.
