Tips from the Community
Very nice "Burehof-Beizli" to linger. For bikes there are extra parking spaces, even charging facilities for e-bikes are available as well as simple bike tools are ready. Culinary there is always something fine to snack on, and the drink selection is also large. Seating is available (under cover as well as outside). The "Beizli" is maintained with love, thank you very much for that.

The Zytturm, beautifully adorned with its blue-and-white striped roof, stands here. On the one hand, you can read the time (=Zyt) from it. On the other hand, it also shows the month, moon phase, day of the week, and leap year! It is possible to climb this landmark free of charge and enjoy a wonderful view. To do so, simply ask for the key in the Wunderbox shop (to the left in the archway of the Zytturm).

The Zytturm was the main tower of the old Kyburger city of Zug and far surpassed the other towers of the urban fortifications. It therefore served as a favorable observation point for protection against impending fire hazards. Thus, on stormy Föhn nights, guards always watched from the tower with the fire horn ready, to awaken the citizens at the first sign of fire. However, the guards were always bothered by thick, long-tailed rats, which often loitered in the tower and ate the guards' tasty mid-morning snack. A student from another city suggested painting a large rat on the tower. This was to be placed exactly where the rats used to climb into the guard's room. And indeed, the giant rats painted black next to the stone ledge henceforth scared away the voracious rats.

I don't know why Brunegg is so beautifully situated, there are many more beautiful ones, for example Grümel etc. in the canton of Zug including Wildspitz😆

It is easy to see or cross on a “Reuss tour” with gravel or MTB.
