Take the hiking bus towards Zürs directly from the hike starting point at the post office. Get off at the Zürs stop and walk along the main road until you reach the roundabout. Shortly after the roundabout, take the supply road going steeply uphill with hairpin bends until you reach the (1) Zürsersee Lake and then continue uphill to the (2) Taurins cave and past the (3) Gate until you reach the (4) Glacial city of Madloch, then on up to the highest point of the Madlochjoch Pass, where you will find a (5) book which you can sign. From there, a narrower path leads through partially karsified terrain downhill to the pass between the Stierlochkopf and the Zuger Mittagsspitze. Up here you can see the (6) bivouac. Follow the hairpins downhill past (7) Taurin the Giant until you reach another hiking trail. Keep to the right and then turn left going downhill shortly afterwards. Continue downhill until you reach the Lechweg trail. Here, you can turn left and take a short detour to the (8) waterfall and the barbecue site. Or you can stay on the trail and walk past the (9) fish pond until you reach the bus stop in Zug town centre. From here, you can take the hiking bus back to the starting point. Those who have not had enough yet can turn right onto the Lech riverbank path and take a nice stroll back into Lech am Arlberg.
