Hohle Gasse
This walk starts in the historic Hohle Gasse in Immensee. The place where Tell is said to have shot the Habsburg bailiff Gessler. In Friedrich Schiller's "William Tell", Tell said (IV, 3): "Through this hollow lane he must come. There is no other way to Küssnacht." The Hohle Gasse was completely renovated in 2005 and is an experience for young and old alike. You can read the story again at the information pavilion. After crossing the Hohle Gasse, take the Tellerenweg towards Gesslerburg Castle. A beautiful view over Küssnacht and Lake Lucerne awaits you.
Battle of Morgarten
Walk from station to station on the Morgarten Trail and listen to the story. The Morgarten Trail is a themed trail that allows visitors to visit the original sites of the Battle of Morgarten with the main characters in a radio play. Seven animated stations await visitors on existing paths between the Sattel parish church and the battle memorial in the hamlet of Morgarten on Lake Aegeri. Free admission to the information centre. Stories about the battle, causes and consequences and the sources form the introduction. An exciting multivision show on the upper floor looks at the culture of remembrance and the well-researched and documented history of the Battle of Morgarten. The information centre is available in four languages (d, f, i, e).
The Letzi Tower, the Battle Chapel and the Medieval Schwyz House (the oldest known wooden house in Europe) are located in the immediate vicinity.
Goldsmith's house
Goldsmiths and silversmiths have been working in the oldest goldsmith's house in the world since 1620. A glittering tradition that is being carried on today by the second generation of the Lohri family. Celebrate with us the revival of Zug's centuries-old jewellery culture in this unique historic building. In addition to elaborate architecture and filigree wall and ceiling paintings, a unique collection of high-quality antique jewellery awaits you here.

Our recommendation:
Travel along one of the most beautiful train routs in Switzerland from Zug to Arth and enjoy the wonderful mountain panorama.
Up the Zuger Mountain, the perfect place for a short hike, to linger and enjoy the sunset over Lake Zug.
There is plenty of material in the past for joy and melancholy, for contentment with themself and for regret.
