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

Beautiful view of Lake Zug. Always fascinating.

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.

The selection of ice cream flavors impressed me; it was difficult to decide. I'll probably have to hike up there a few more times. It's fine, eating ice cream in the most beautiful place on earth; the view is simply magnificent! 🍀
