This beautiful lake in the Swiss mountains is an easy stroll with mountain views. If the lake wasn’t enough, there is a even a short detour to two waterfall viewpoints – definitely recommended!

• Trail: Easy • 2h30 • 9.5 km loop  • 140 m up/down

Since there is public transportation on both ends of the lake, you can easily just walk half the trail instead of the full loop.

There are lots of picnic areas with fire pits along the way and restaurants on both ends of the lake. We usually eat at Restaurant Kaiserstuhl, which serves local fish from from the lake.

In summer, you can camp next to the lake and swim at the "badi" with a big waterslide. A great choice for May and early June when higher elevation trails are covered in snow.
