The Zug area with its archaeological sites is extremely interesting. Since June 27, 2011, three of the 33 sites around Lake Zug, namely "Zug-Sumpf", "Zug-Oterswil/Insel Eielen" and "Zug-Riedmatt" are UNESCO World Heritage Sites.
Many amber beads from the Middle Bronze Age have been found. Some of them are exhibited in the Museum of Prehistory in the city of Zug. The museum impresses with a very vivid and lively presentation of the archaeological finds. The museum is also exciting for children and young people. A story tour presents the everyday life of people from the Ice Age to the Middle Ages in a very understandable way.
From the late Bronze Age settlement Zug-Sumpf (around 1000 BC) beads made of amber and glass were found. Chromatographic analysis showed that the amber was Baltic amber.
