2/3 Days Hike: Biberegg - Unteraegeri - Zug

A brief window with stable weather came to be, and I decided to hike close where I live. The previous week there were heavy rainfall at various regions of Switzerland, also a place I was hiking last year in December in Missox valley, even close where I camped once a stone/earth avalance pushed and destroyed various houses and damaged the highway nearby - so, "heavy rainfall" indeed means it can move large amount of earth and stones to just push away whatever is in the way. Usually in summer a high pressure system forms above central Europe, bring stable warm or even hot weather - this has not been the case yet, so quite volatile weather through June yet.

Some distances:

Biberbrugg - Dreilaenderstein 1h 50m
Biberbrugg - Huetten 3h 30m
Biberbrugg - Rothenturm 3h
Biberbrugg - Raten 2h 25m
Biberbrugg - Gottschalkenberg 3h
Biberbrugg - Chlausenchaeppeli 2h 40m
Biberbrugg - Oberaegeri 4h 30m

Starting at Biberbrugg trainstation 12:20, and brief but steep ascend from 828m to 1200m of Wildspitz (ZH/ZG/SZ) through the forst, and then along the ridge around 1100m further, until changing to the next ridge of Gottschalkenberg - in between brief rain from dark clouds rushing over the ridge - and close to Mangelhoehe I find a nice spot (a place I revisit everytime I hiking in this region).

And then descending to Schoenegg where I meet with an early jogger and exchange some hiking experiences - at Schoenegg the hike ends.

That's it.

PS: As the weather became more volatile - this is why I ended the hike before the weekend - again heavy rain in Valais and Ticino (2024/06/29) with flooding & earth avalanches damaging houses and bridges, the Maggia valley where I was hiking just in April this year. It's incredible how a thunderstorm & heavy rain can impact a valley in just 24 hours.
