スパイリンゲンの湖・トップ20

This short detour is very worthwhile!

Very crowded

Nice little lake that you can easily walk around.

Beautiful small mountain lake, easily accessible by cable car from Intschi.

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.

At the barbecue area with water inlet into the beautifully situated Arnisee. Actually a small reservoir, but very picturesque and quite natural!

Very beautiful small reservoir above Gurtnellen/Amsteg. You can go quite high up with the Intschi cable car. The best way to get there on a mountain bike is to take the road from Gurtnellen (asphalt at the beginning, gravel for the last third over the highest point, Heissigegg 1,409 meters). The walk around the lake is worthwhile. Large shady picnic area with benches and two small restaurants. The downhill from Rinderstafel 1,329 meters to Intschi train station 649 meters is tough, long and rough, S2.
