    The Zug Loop is the ideal running route for beginners and anyone looking to clock up some kilometres at a leisurely pace. Following mainly paved paths, the route leads from Parzelle Zug down to Lechweg and then runs almost flat along the river. A particular highlight is the Zug Kneipp facility, which offers a refreshing break along the way. The return route, with its gentle climb and beautiful views of the Zug Valley, rounds off this varied circuit perfectly. Ideal for anyone wishing to combine enjoying nature, exercise and relaxation.

    Roadbook

    The Zug Loop starts in the Zug area. From here, you’ll initially run slightly downhill towards Lechweg, which you’ll reach after a short while.

    The route along the River Lech is particularly pleasant and even – accompanied at all times by the soothing sound of the water. This section is ideal for maintaining a steady running pace. After a while, you’ll reach the Zug Kneipp facility – a perfect spot for a short break to refresh your legs in the cold water and recharge your batteries.

    You’ll then cross a bridge and head to the opposite bank of the Lech. From here, the return route takes you back towards Zug on a gentle incline. The route remains varied and easy to run on.

    The final stretch runs along the road back to the town centre. Here you’ll be rewarded with a particularly beautiful view of the Zug Valley before you reach your starting point again. A compact, varied running circuit offering natural refreshment and impressive scenery.
