Description

Certainly! Below is the translated bicycle trip program in English as HTML text: ```html
Day 1: Zurich/Regensdorf
Individual arrival in Zurich and hotel accommodation.

Day 2: Zurich – Rapperswil (45 km; +/- 465 m)
Today you will leave the city and cross Zurich's outskirts until you reach Kilchberg, the birthplace of the famous Swiss chocolate brand Lindt & Sprüngli. After the guided tour of the chocolate factory, you can personalize your own chocolate bar. For lunch, you will continue to the gentle hills of the so-called Hirzel, from where you will descend towards the shores of Lake Zurich.

Day 3: Rapperswil – Brunnen (45 km; +540/-985 m)
By train to Einsiedeln. If you're in the mood for a bit of history, you can visit the famous monastery before starting your bike tour through the marshy shores of Lake Sihlsee. Today's challenge will be the climb to the Iberegg Pass, from where you can enjoy a fantastic view of the nearby Alpine peaks and Lake Lucerne. Your ride takes you through the small village of Schwyz and ends on the quiet shores of the lake in Brunnen. (With own bike, the train price is approximately 20€).

Day 4: Brunnen – Lucerne (30 km; +220/-225 m)
Today's itinerary includes a fascinating lake tour. In fact, you will take the boat to reach the opposite shore and start your bike route in Beckenried. This section is pleasantly quiet and flat: you will pass a small airfield until you reach the quaint village of Stansstad. To conclude the day, you can take a leisurely ride along the shores of the Kastanienbaum peninsula, which will bring you directly into the city of Lucerne.

Day 5: Lucerne – Zug (31 km; +225/-240 m)
Today's segment, predominantly flat, connects the cities of Lucerne and Zug. A nice bike path leads along the Reuss River towards the Canton of Zug. Along the way, you will stop in Root to visit the fascinating world of Aeschbach Chocolatier. You will end the day by visiting the beautiful historic center of Zug, with its lovely lakeside promenade.

Day 6: Zug – Zurich (32 km; +320/-330 m)
Today's tour will take you through the Sihlwald Nature Park, a small paradise right on Zurich's doorstep. You will stroll along Zurich's famous Bahnhofstrasse, one of the world's most exclusive shopping streets, before getting back on your bike for the last time on this trip.

Day 7: Zurich
After breakfast, end of services.
