Morat Pond

Highlight • Lake

This 12-hectare pond was created by Nicolas Rambourg, a famous ironmaster, at the beginning of the 19th century. It offers a beautiful view of the water and the surrounding trees. You can walk around the pond on a well-marked path and admire the Futaie Colbert, a grove of hundred-year-old oaks dating from the reign of Louis XIV. Some of these oaks are over 300 years old and have names such as the Saint-Louis oak, the Resistance oak and the Sterbing oak. Morat pond is private property, but is open to the public for hiking and fishing. You can enjoy this peaceful and historic place in any season, but especially in autumn, when the leaves turn gold and red. The Murten pond is an ideal destination for a relaxing and refreshing hike in nature.
