Schwarzsee
The Schwarzsee is a lake measuring around 0.5 km2 in the Swiss canton of Fribourg, in the Friborg foothills of the Alps. It is 1046 m above sea level. and has a maximum depth of only 10 meters. The lake is embedded in the pre-Alpine mountain landscape of the Freiburg Alps. The holiday region is known for its originality and wildly romantic natural scenery.

Legend:
According to legend, the water of the Schwarzsee has been so dark since a giant washed his feet in the lake. Depending on the light, the mountain lake shimmers in different colors, including turquoise blue.

If the 4km loop around the lake is too short for you, here is an alternative. The lake tour can also be perfectly extended with the tour around Rohrmoos at the beginning of Schwarzsee. At the Gypsera car park, walk up the district street next to the SchwarzseeStärn restaurant where you have a perfect view over the lake. After 1.3 km (from Gypsera) at Schlossisboden turn right at the residential building, follow the yellow hiking trail markings towards the Burstera residential area. After Schlossisboden, the hiking trail is not suitable for strollers for about 200 meters (rough stones). You are on a dirt road for the next 400 meters until you reach the Burstera district. Once you have reached the quarter at the bottom, turn left along the 1.6 km long walk around Rohrmoos and along the Sense hiking trail back to the Gypsera car park. Very worthwhile additional loop with little fuss ;-)
There is also food and drink available directly along the route. The Jailhouse Rohr restaurant serves delicious burgers and more. Restaurant only open in the winter season (from the beginning of December to the end of March), the rest of the year rental premises.
At the health center there is the “fein & sein” where you are well served and have a beautiful terrace that invites you to linger.

Length of the additional loop 4.5 km with 123 meters in altitude. If you leave out the Rohrmoos and only do the part up to Schlossisboden then down to the Burstera district and back along the Sense, the additional loop is 2.8 km with 111 meters in altitude.

The Schwarzsee is located in the Freiburg Alps and is known for its originality.
The wildly romantic natural backdrop around the mountain lake and the Breccaschlund, an alpine valley formed by glaciers, are the jewels of the region.
