Albis [Pass] (2) and heavenly view of Lake Zurich – delightful walk through meadow flowers and deciduous forests – view of Lake Zug and the white mountains in the distance – towards the Rigi [mountain massif] – Baar – footpath through gardens – arriving in Zug (3) at 18:00 – the elegant landlord – very decent meal – ride over Lake Zug – beautiful sunset – thinking of Venice – quiet and soft sleep]
