ホナウのおすすめウォーキング＆ハイキングルート

The light trail has been enhanced this year 2025/26 with "the three wise men" (wooden sculptures).

Depending on the weather and visibility, you can see more or less.

Beautiful view of Lake Zug. Always fascinating.

An outpost of Catholicism in a Reformed area.

A brochure from the parish of St. Martin in Root provides information on the history of the power place Michael's Cross: "Around 1,500 years ago, the pious Medardus decided to build a wooden hut in the Meggerwald forest to live there. While he was busy felling trees, a boy came to him and asked Medardus to take two tree trunks on his shoulders and follow him. After a four-hour hike, the two arrived at a hill near Root. There, the boy asked the hermit to build a cross from the two trunks. With the words: 'I am the Archangel Michael, sent by my Lord Jesus Christ to mark and consecrate this place with the sign of the holy cross,' the boy took on the form of the Archangel Michael. Since then, the hill on which the chapel stands today has been called Michael's Cross.

This approximately 1 km long path of lights (28.11-06.01) was first set up in 2018 during Advent and Christmas on the existing panoramic path. It leads through untouched nature, past the idyllic barbecue area and the candle-lit pond in the Feldhof nature reserve to the KneippGarten Gisikon, where the nativity scene is located.

Flat, long, traffic-free, great, great.

Just enjoy the peace and quiet and the view. Hopefully the restaurant will be open again soon!🍷
