I don't always have to travel 2 or 3 hours to get to my hiking destination, or to enjoy great views from a higher altitude. In only 30 minutes by bus and funicular I can get to the top of our local mountain "Mount Zug". From here there are many directions that we can walk, but for a short outing, it is only an hour to walk back down the mountain through farms and meadows, with far-reaching views of both the flat lands North of the Alps, and the Bernese 4000m mountains, which are over 100 km to the South.
This year I walked down the hill three times, twice in March and once in November, taking a couple of alternate routes.
This first walk was 13th of March, 2015. 5.75 km in 1.5 hours

The second walk was with Urs on the 19th of March, a different route this time, but about the same length: 6 km in 1.2 hours
This third walk was on November 18th, pretty much the same as the first, with great late afternoon lighting.
