    Tips

    The Schwarzensee is 716 meters high and is a perfect destination for a hike. Sit on the banks of the picturesque mountain lake and let the sun shine in your face. There are several alpine pastures around the lake. If you want to go around the lake, just follow the almost four kilometer circular route.

      Beautiful and easy circular hike.
      There is a paid parking lot right by the lake (car €3.- / day)
      The nicer path runs along the left bank, i.e. if you go anti-clockwise from the parking lot. On the other side, the route goes mostly on asphalt and with not so much direct "contact" with the lake back to the starting point.

        In one hour you can walk around the calm lake (4 km).

          Beautiful circular route, either short (4 km) or with a detour through pastures with many streams (10km). Two possibilities to stop directly at the Schwarzensee.

            If you catch warm weather, the torrent has good places where you can even sink completely.

              Take a break from everyday life with a walk around the Schwarzensee.

                  A very beautiful piece of nature that is very little visited, especially in the early morning hours, and thus offers an absolute nature experience!

                    Beautiful, quiet mountain lake with original character with the possibility of bathing in some places and catering in one area.

                      There is a direct circular path around the lake. There are several places to stop for refreshments near the car park

                            It doesn't really matter which side of the lake you head for or whether you choose the circular route. Beautiful panoramas are always on offer.

                              The ascent of Schwarzenbach is not suitable for walkers.

                                A nice walk, even if the weather is not so good. Very win-fold route.
