Lake Zug and the rolling foothills of the Swiss Plateau define the setting of Risch-Rotkreuz — the municipality connects the lakeside village of Risch with the inland settlement of Rotkreuz. Rotkreuz developed rapidly after the railway arrived in 1864, and its station remains an important link between Zug, Lucerne and southern Switzerland. Today, the town has a notably international working character, shaped in part by Roche Diagnostics’ major Swiss site. Older Risch, on the lake shore, preserves a more rural counterpoint, with farms and established village streets.
