Some views gain their appeal, among other things, from their inaccessibility. Here, you'll be rewarded for any effort with a small blue jewel amidst the mountain panorama.
Although the Mölssee is the most difficult place to reach among our power spots, you cannot escape its fascination. The clear water and the mountain scenery do a lot to make you escape from everyday life and feel free and carefree. Because staying in nature is a great help to gain new strength for everyday life.
Well-known and important personalities from history are already reporting on the Mölssee. For example, the lake is mentioned in Emperor Maximilian I's fisheries book from 1500. There it says "two wild lakes in the Mels valley with forks and whitefish".
The Hall city doctor Hippolyt Guarinoni also describes the lake in his book "Atrocity of the Devastation of the Human Race" from 1610 as the "Wattensee", which lies in the highest mountains and contains the best char.
He visited the lake on a mountain hike from the Voldertal over the Joch into the Wattental. According to the legend, his companions wanted to create a thunderstorm by throwing stones into the lake, but without success.
During closer examinations of the Mölssee, the inflow and outflow of the water body were changed. And this had an impact on the mysterious, fabulous stories about the mountain lake.
But it has long been proven that there are neither monsters nor underground connections or eerie whirlpools in the lake. Nevertheless, various stories persist, such as that in the olden days a butter stirrer fell into the lake and disappeared without a trace. This wooden stirrer, which bore a name sign, would have appeared in Lake Constance after a while. In the same way, a bull that had ventured too far into the lake on a hot day had sunk untraceable and its carcass had also washed up on the shore of Lake Constance.
