Menzingen

Menzingen lies on a plateau between the Lorze and Sihl valleys in the canton of Zug, where open farmland and wooded slopes form a transition toward the Swiss pre-Alps. Set above the busier lakeside towns of Zug, the municipality retains a distinctly rural character, with scattered hamlets alongside its compact village centre. Its best-known institution is the Convent of the Sisters of the Holy Cross, motherhouse of the teaching and nursing congregation founded in Menzingen in 1844. The surrounding uplands lead toward Lake Ägeri and Zugerberg, placing the village within reach of central Switzerland’s walking country.
