The contrast between the shallow lake and the steep southern wall of the Glärnisch is intoxicating.

The story of Oberblegisee:

The Geisser at Oberblegisee

There is a lake on Oberblegi. Where the water comes in, I sit, but where it flows out, I first got angry, when the Leuggelbach Geisser thought he had to swim across it a little. The Puur in the hut told him:

“Don’t be fools, you don’t want to tempt God, that’s what the writing says.” But the Geisser says: “Whether God likes it or not, I’ll cross it!”

The Puur asks: “Now his?” and looks at him as he swims. He had almost been there when suddenly there was a noise. And that very hour his mother fetched water from the Leuggelbach. What did he think when he was thrown into the water? The head of his boy, where the waves were floating over the sea.
