Village of OberaegeriThe village of Walchwil, where I live, is located at the bottom of a small mountain (1400m). If you go up the hill to the Zugerberg plateau and down the other side you end up at the Aegerisee (Aegeri Lake for us German language impaired). Total ride was 40km with one hard climb of 350m.
The hill up from Walchwil to the plateau is tough. There are two routes up, the hard climb and the nasty climb. Since I'm just starting out my bike season I only took the hard one.
On the east side of the little lake of Aegeri - which is about 10km long - there are a few small villages:

- Unteraegeri
- Mittenageri
- Oberaegeri
- Morgarten
Morgarten is a famous location because that's where the Austrian's had their asses kicked by the Swiss in 1315. Austria had several 'barons' in Switzerland around that time managing lands and abbies. The swiss peasants versus the Austria knights was a sort of liberation battle for the Swiss. For more information about this ass-kicking see the Battle of Morgarten.
