ゲンスブルネンの湖・トップ11

Unfortunately, the lake is completely fenced in, so you can't even take a picture.

Warm clothes in winter

This viewpoint offers an exceptional panorama of the green lake and the surrounding mountains. The lake is located in a private domain and closed to visitors since 2019. You can nevertheless admire the lake from afar and enjoy the tranquility of nature. You can also extend your run to Mont Girod and the Joux pastures, where you will have other views of the Jura landscape.

Nice view, a short stretch of single trail and, depending on the water level, a stream crossing.

In summer it is difficult to identify the 'driveway' in the uppermost part of a freshly mown meadow. After a few meters along the edge of the forest, however, the trail increasingly peels out of the green. The trail can actually be 'speeded', with a very steep end.

The Huppenweiher pond has an interesting history. It is not actually natural, but rather arose from the mining pit where the so-called Huppererde was mined from the 17th century onwards. Huppererde is a white fireproof clay that was suitable as a melting pot and was used in furnace construction. At that time, most of the earth was exported to France, Germany and Genoa/Venice, where chimney stones were made to line fireboxes. These were used in blast furnaces, glass furnaces and cannon foundries, for example. The mining continued until the end of the 1940s.

Idyllic pond, highly recommended! 👍👍
