Seebodenalp

Rigi Royal

Today I am going to show you a wonderful Rooterberg Rigi route. From Dierikon up the Götzental. At the curve left direction farm. Loving this way through the Grossbergwald. The way across this brook is a bit tricky, since the bridge is quite morbid. If you survive it, the way leads further uphill. At KM 6 you…

D4 Business Village Luzern

Music

  Quite nice weather today. Start at D4 Root Business Village. Community best at my beloved Dorfstrasse Climb. On top at the farm some people cheering me up. Easier again up to Seeboden. Obviously the body is adapting to elevation profiles. Passed Ruedisegg exactely when the Illumination of the Flagpost went on. So happily the…

Cherry Blossom, Gadmenhof

Cherry Blossom

Today I wanted to find out wheather there is a direct way from Gadmenhof to Rigi. It is not, but leading to Küssnacht. Very beautiful due to cherry blossom time. From Küssnacht I went my familiar route up to Seebodenalp, and on the “first floor” to Immensee. From there in the dark to Arth. With…

Feuerkreis

Border Triangles

I have always been fascinated by border triangles. About here is the one where the cantons of Zug, Schwyz and Lucerne are meeting. As a non-resident of Immensee, a village of about 2.000 inhabitants it is hardly to imagine for me, how they cope with three legislations. If I remember it right, the Firering is…

Hotel Seehof, Küssnacht

Seehof

Had luck with the weather, it stopped raining. Liked the photo of the warrior at Seehof. Looked a bit like my limbo dance under the electric fence, were I burned my nose four days ago. Was also amused by the cover of the Hotel Newspaper with the ironical photo of the housewife of the 50s. Remembered…

Art, Waldstätterweg, Weggis, VitznauVitznau

Fantasy, Ladders and History

From Küssnacht to Weggis I followed the familiar route up to Seebodenalp and Alp Ruodisegg. From Weggis I turned into the the Waldstätterweg leading to Vitznau. This part of the historical way leading around the lake is without doubt one of the most beautiful ones. In this case it is not the wonderful view but the fantasy character…

Morgarten Denkmal

Games without Frontiers

Another historical walk. Having dealt much with the past, this history is quite special. The conflict in this area was caused by the intended structural change in farming and lead to the foundation of later Switzerland. People were refusing to produce and eat what their authorities wanted and tricked them out with their geographical knowledge of the region. Today there are…

Holzegg, Schwyz

Strange Situations

This day I wanted to check the way and elevation from Einsiedeln to Mythen. As mostly I did not look on a map before the run. The route along the Alpthal is quite agreable and easy. Frpm Brunni the way leads upwards to Holzegg. This part was a bit complicated, since the area was completely…

Glasi Hergiswil

Lake of Zug

Wonderful way along the lake of Zug. Loved the finish at Arth. At the Supermarket there was a corner where the conditions and rewards of the loyalty programs where shown. Among others there was an exhibition of glass from Hergiswil. The old man who looked amazed at it asked me, how much is it?

Rathaus, 'Glarus

Ice, Ice, Baby.

A relatively flat route good for practising street runs. An excellent way for exploring the Linthal with its impressive genesis. The lake of Zurich for example was formed by the melting of the Linth glacier. Since then the area has always been in movement, cultivated several times and recently renaturated. There is also a parcours showing important…
