A leisurely, approximately 4km circular trail leads around the picturesque Schwarzsee lake – ideal for families, connoisseurs, and nature lovers. 🔹 Duration: approx. 1–1.5 hours 🔹 Elevation gain: barely noticeable, flat, and stroller-friendly 🔹 Highlights: Themed trail with legendary figures, playgrounds, barbecue areas, and a panoramic lake view 🔹 Tip: A short detour to the waterfall on the southeast shore is worthwhile! Perfect for a relaxing day trip – with a view of the Kaiseregg and surrounded by the mystical atmosphere of the Alpine foothills. 🌿🦢🪵

The Schwarzsee, also known as Lac Noir, is idyllically situated in the canton of Fribourg (Sense district) and is part of the Gantrisch Nature Park. With its deep, dark water and surrounding peaks such as Kaiseregg (2185 m), Schafberg, and Spitzfluh, the lake offers a fascinating panorama. 🌅 Highlights & Activities Surroundings & Nature: The moorland and alpine pastures surrounding the lake are rich in species – with cotton grass, reeds, coots, and dragonflies – ideal for walks and nature observation. Leisure & Recreation: The Schwarzsee is ideal for hiking, swimming, paddling (SUP), or simply lounging on the shore. Accessible for hikes or conveniently by chairlift to Riggisalp – with alpine huts and restaurants. Legends & Experiences: Themed trails with legends from the Sense region, mystical landscapes in the Breccaschlund valley, and spectacular ice palaces in winter attract visitors year-round.

This scenic hike offers spectacular views of the sparkling lake and surrounding mountains. Start your hike early in the morning to catch the sunrise over the water - an unforgettable experience. Don't forget to bring your phone or camera as there are plenty of photo opportunities. Pack plenty of water and snacks as there are limited food options along the way. Enjoy the peace and nature and keep an eye out for the diverse wildlife that inhabits this idyllic place.

The renovated Fuchses Schwyberg mountain hut was reopened to the public in May 2024 after being closed for many years. Now the Schwyberg has an alpine restaurant again. In addition to food and drink, the hut also offers overnight accommodation and hosts events. You can also rent the entire mountain hut: https://www.fuchses-schwyberg.ch/ The great panorama that you can enjoy from here is also worth a visit, or you can take a look at the pictures in the highlight beforehand. 👍🏻🤗
