Buschenchappeli (or Buschenkappeli) is a chapel in the Swiss village of Walchwil. Situated on Walchwilerberg, overlooking the Lotenbach and with an elevation of around 3,300 feet (1,000 m), it is first mentioned in literature in 1754. It is located around 2 miles (3.2 km) from the eastern shores of the Zugersee. The reason for its construction is unclear. One account states it was built by peasants in gratitude for their being spared from the plague; another says it was built to protect grazing cattle from lightning strikes. A third theory is that a foreign officer stationed here during the French Revolution got lost in the area for several days. He swore that if he saw his homeland again, he would have a chapel built in this area. This account postdates the 1754 appearance in history books, however. The chapel was renovated in 1966. The consecration of the bell, featuring the bell god Marie Müller (known as Stoffels Marie), took place in July of that year.It was restored again in 1987, under the guidance of the cantonal monument preservation and with donations from the Walchwil Yodelling Club.

Lake Zug (German: Zugersee) is a lake in Central Switzerland, situated between Lake Lucerne and Lake Zurich. It stretches for 14 km between Arth and the Cham-Zug bay. The Lorze as the main feeder river empties its waters into the lake at its northern extremity, but 1 km (0.6 mi) further west issues from the lake to pursue its course towards the Reuss. Due to this poor feeding, Environmental protection is very important as the lake would suffer long term damage if polluted as the second of the rivers, Rigiaa, feeds only a marginal amount into the lake at its southern end. Already a great part of the fauna in the deep parts of the lake has been lost.There are many turtles in the lake.
