Hiking
First hike and then dive into the cool water. Is there anything nicer in summer? And that three times. The Seealpsee, the Fählensee and the Sämtisersee shine like sparkling gemstones in the middle of a postcard-perfect mountain backdrop - three beautiful lakes that are part of your tour.
You start at Wasserauen train station. You hike along the Schwendibach, first gently and then a little steeper up to the popular Seealpsee. Here you can fortify yourself in one of the two inns for your further journey. The exciting rope-secured path leads through the Teufelskanzel to Meglisalp. Your climb remains steep: a steep path takes you up to the Widderalpsattel before going down to Fählensee, which will impress you with its dark water. From the Bollenwees mountain inn you have a great view of the water. Now it gets a little more comfortable, because you continue on a small road to Lake Sämtisersee. Another short climb and it goes through the Brüeltobel into the valley to Brülisau.
Tip: You can also complete the tour in a relaxed manner over two days. An overnight stay in the Meglisalp or Bollenwees mountain inns is recommended.
From Brülisau you can take the bus, line 192, the train or a taxi back to your starting point in Wasserauen. The walk takes about 45 minutes.

I set off from Wasserauen at 6:30 a.m., up the slope and the Seealpsee greeted me. Then left up the forest and along the rock faces... wonderful... quiet, no one around. And still nice and pleasant in the temperatures. Then hello Meglisalp,,😃 lots of hikers were having breakfast. I went left first up to the Bötzelkopfsattel and over the scree field to the Widderalpsattel. ☀️😎 Now the first time back down and then up the Chämmi. My mom used to call it that, meaning... the steep climb along the rocks to the Bollewees. Wonderful view of the Fählensee. I was still gripped by the lake, along the Fählenalp. So idyllic 🥰. Then back again and S'Chämmi down to the Sämtisersee. There are nicer things to do than this wide gravel road to Plattenbödeli🤔 And now down the Brühltobel...phew. What an ending. Despite the poles, it still hits your knees! But...it was super nice and pleasant in the warmth. 👍😃🥰
