There was once a large lake on Seebodenalp. The eruption of the marginal moraine in 1886 and the construction of this dam drained the lake, creating a moorland landscape that was converted into a nature reserve around the turn of the millennium.

Seebodenalp was to live up to its name again. In 2010, in Hinter Seeboden, where, as the name suggests, there was a lake until the 19th century, the Berg und Seeboden Küssnacht Corporation excavated a mountain lake up to 2.5 meters deep on an area of approximately 3,000 square meters and left it to nature. A new habitat for animals and plants was created.
