Best Hikes to Reinkarsee

Tips

  • The following legend surrounds the Reinkarsee: The former alpine dairymaid is said to have hated his farmers so much that he managed to run the alp down completely. When he finally died, he was punished: he was banished to watch over the mountain pasture as a black bull and to live on forever. But even in the form of the black bull, he was up to mischief and scared off all the other animals in the alpine pasture. Of course, that annoyed the owner. He marched to the mountain pasture with two pious monks in order to finally banish the evil spirit. Despite the bull's threats, the monks began their exorcism. The cattle then plunged into the water and has been trapped in it ever since.

    Some people say that you can still hear the bull roaring every now and then. If you don't let that put you off, you can take a little break on the shores of the lake.
