Lake Zug

Between Lake Lucerne and Lake Zurich, in Central Switzerland, is a lake called Lake Zug. Between Arth and Cham-Zug bay, it is 14 kilometers long. The main feeder river, the Lorze, drains into the lake at its northernmost point, but 1 km to the west, it emerges from the lake and continues on its path toward the Reuss. Due to this inadequate feeding, environmental conservation is crucial as the lake would suffer long-term harm if polluted. At its southern end, the second of the two rivers, Rigiaa, only contributes a small amount of water to the lake. Already, a significant portion of the lake's deep biodiversity has disappeared.

Around Lake Zug, there is a huge variety of recreational activities. The Vilette Park in Cham is especially suggested as a site to visit, in addition to the charming Old Town of Zug, the breathtaking scenery, and the various hiking routes. The stunning park is unmatched throughout the world for its outstanding tree population. The Villa Villette, which features fantastic performance and exhibition spaces, is also open to those with an interest in culture and music.
