オーベルリートの湖・トップ20

Mega view, all along the ridge

Description: A relatively easy trail with a few sections that require caution, both during the ascent and the descent. It’s a nice route for those who enjoy moderate hiking without technical difficulties, but attention is needed in some steeper or uneven parts. Ideal for a short adventure close to nature. Why I recommend it: This route is perfect for beginners or casual hikers who want a bit of challenge without being overwhelmed. The views are rewarding, and the trail offers a nice balance between ease and small moments of focus.

Just walk up and see for yourself...

Sämtisersee, Alpstein region The picturesque Sämtisersee is located above Brülisau in the municipality of Rüte in the canton of Appenzell Innerrhoden. The Appenzell mountain lake is located at the foot of the Hoher Kasten in the Alpstein region at an altitude of around 1200 meters above sea level. The Seealpsee and the Fälensee, the other two larger lakes in the Alpstein, are each about three kilometers (as the crow flies) to the southwest. The Sämtisersee is fed by various streams, especially the Sämtiserbach. Text / Source: schweizersee.ch https://www.schweizersee.ch/saemtisersee/

Sämtisersee at 1200 meters As with Fählensee, there is no outflow to be seen here. The water from both lakes flows underground and reappears in the Rhine Valley. Outflow or not, enjoy a refreshing swim! The water level fluctuates greatly, which is why Sämtisersee almost dries out in very hot summers.

At this position you don't have the panoramic view described... But on the way here you have numerous worthwhile views

Bollenwees at 1471 m above sea level is a beautiful mountain restaurant directly at the Fählensee

Very beautiful mountain lake at 1447 m above sea level, which, like the Sämtiser and Seealpsee, is part of the Alpstein. Ideal for cooling off after a hike. When there is no wind, the mountains are beautifully reflected in the water.
