Top 20 Lakes around Naturpark Gantrisch

Great views of the Swiss Plateau and the Freiburg Pre-Alps opposite.

View of the Alps and foothills as well as a wonderful sunset.

This lake is also a little jewel against the backdrop of the Eiger, Mönch and Jungfrau, but also the majestic Stockhorn chain. On the lakeshore, the Grizzlybär restaurant with a small animal park and large playground for kids invites you to linger.

View from Fuchses Schwyberg to Schwarzsee and towards Kaiseregg

Beautiful trail from Gerzensee to Kirchdorf on the hiking trail

If the 4km loop around the lake is too short for you or you want to hike a little without all the hustle and bustle, here is an alternative. The lake tour can also be perfectly extended with the loop around Rohrmoos at the entrance to Schwarzsee. This addition is very rarely used by visitors. To do this, walk up the street next to the SchwarzseeStärn restaurant at the Gypsera car park, where you have a fantastic view of the lake. After 1.3km (from Gypsera), at Schlossisboden, near the house, take the dirt road to the right down, following the yellow hiking trail markings, towards the Burstera residential area. About half of this 400-meter dirt road is not suitable for strollers due to large stones. At the Burstera district, you come back onto a road and as soon as you get to the bottom, turn left to take the loop around Rohrmoos and then follow the hiking trail along the Sense back to the Gypsera car park. A very worthwhile additional loop with little hustle and bustle ;-) There is also food and drink directly on the route. The Jailhouse Rohr restaurant serves delicious burgers and more. The restaurant is only open in the winter season (from the beginning of December to the end of March), the rest of the year it is a rental space. At the health center there is the "fein & sein" where you are also well looked after and a beautiful terrace invites you to linger. Length of the additional loop Schlossisboden including Rohrmoos 4.5 km with 123 meters of elevation. Length of the additional loop Schlossisboden but without Rohrmoos 2.8 km with 111 meters of elevation. Length of the additional loop Rohrmoos but without the route and elevation above Schlossisboden and without the top view over Schwarzsee: 3.5 km with only 35 meters of elevation. This variant is completely suitable for strollers but the first 800 meters of hiking trail directly along the Sense to Rohrmoos also take you back to the Gypsera car park. Halfway through the walk around Rohrmoos there is also a playground, picnic table and public toilet 😊

The marking is on the highest point of the Fuchses Schwyberg. Schwyberg is just the umbrella term for the entire range of hills from Plaffeien to Schwarzsee. The highest point of the Schwyberg (entire range of hills) is above Plaffeien near the Alp Gross Schwyberg at 1645m. The Schwarzsee is the highest point of Schwyberg at 1620m. The correct name would be Fuchses Schwyberg. If you go to the Fuchses Schwyberg in Schwarzsee, you usually only need the short form Schwyberg instead of Fuchses Schwyberg. There are a number of other Schwyberg names all over the hill range. E.g. Schatters Schwyberg, Hapferen Schwyberg, Schmutzes Schwyberg, Hooi Schwyberg, Gross Schwyberg, etc

The lake tour can also be perfectly extended with the tour around the Rohrmoos. At the Gypsera car park, walk up the street next to the SchwarzseeStärn restaurant, where you have a beautiful view of the lake. At Schlossisboden then back down in the direction of the Burstera residential area, then the tour around the Rohrmoos and along the hiking trail along the Sense back to the Gypsera car park. Very worthwhile additional loop with little hype ;-)
