Immensee Hike

27 November 2018
7km, 190m ascent, 1h:30m
This was one of the shortest hikes we’ve done: a double loop hike around a wooded peninsula on Lake Zug. The outer loop was at lake level, and then we ascended to make a smaller inner loop higher up on the hill that occupies the peninsula.

The weather was not good (2°C and rainy), and consequently we had fewer hikers than normal. Still it was a pretty hike, and the distance was right for the weather, especially considering the slippery roots on the trail.

On the drive home my car GPS decided to route me through 20 km of tiny one-lane farmer roads up and over the Zugerberg. Up on the mountains it was snowing and not always plowed. I think I must have accidentally told the GPS to avoid highways. Thank goodness for winter tires and 4wd. It was very pretty though.

Sihl River Loop

20 November 2018
11.3km, 190m ascent, 2h:30m
This was a very pretty, mostly flat hike. We made sort of an elongated figure-eight by walking along both sides of the Sihl River and crossing three different bridges.

The weather was literally freezing (0°C), but I never felt cold during the hike. We only saw a dusting of snow in a few places.

Apple Watch with the hiking workout continues to be a good hiking companion.
