Product Info

Most visitors to Zug, one of Switzerland's most beautiful small cities, don't realise that a world of ancient forest, rushing rivers, and dramatic waterfalls begins just minutes from the centre.

The Lorze Valley is a local gem: a deep forested gorge carved by the Lorze River, home to the Schwarzenbach waterfall, centuries-old beech and pine forest, and trails that feel genuinely wild despite being so close to the city. It's the kind of place locals go on Sunday mornings and rarely tell visitors about.

Begin with a short bus ride from Zug. Then, follow your guide along the Lorze River, where mossy gorges, wooden bridges, and secret glades create a magical atmosphere.

Make optional stops at the fairytale-like Höllgrotten Caves or enjoy lunch beside the rushing river at Restaurant Höllgrotten. Whether you’re here for the nature, the geology, the history, or just a peaceful escape into the trees, this tour delivers a refreshing and local Swiss experience.
