A wooden walkway leads out into Lake Schwendi. Access for the last 200-300 meters is only on foot; bikes must be left in the bike parking area. Beautiful views directly out into the lake and to Mount Säntis. Well worth the visit.

Beautiful moor lake where you can swim. A welcome cool down after a long hike.
