Wear waterproof, high-top shoes!

Currently (September 2024) the path around the lake to the so-called beach (please do not swim, it is a drinking water reservoir) is closed, so you only have to walk about 5km there and back from the parking lot.

A beautiful area for hiking. The first part is stroller-friendly, but sturdy, waterproof footwear is recommended for the path around the lake to the beach on the other side. The river in the first part of the trail, with its rocks, tempts climbing, but climbing is strongly discouraged. On the day we hiked there, the path was closed because a boy had fallen into the water and sadly died. You can also swim in the lake if you want, if the cold water doesn't put you off. I've been there three times now, and unfortunately, the glacier is receding.

We were there in August. I don't know if it applies to this or another suspension bridge, BUT: At least one suspension bridge can only be reached by walking over the stones in the riverbed of the waterfall. The current is really strong there. Right in the middle of the edge there is a birch branch sticking out into the path, which makes it even more difficult to move forward. We had a 5.5 kg dog with us. He was in our arms or in our backpack. I don't know how you would get larger dogs without huge self-confidence and a VERY good sense of their body across there. Think about it;)

Impressive view of the glacier, which unfortunately is melting inexorably.

Great hike that can be classified as "difficult"; especially for inexperienced hikers. The climbing sections and waterfall crossings have something adventurous about them - great motivator for children and young people. A high level of surefootedness is required (especially in the wet spring months - the hike is not a children's birthday party), but it offers great views and, in good weather, simply an unforgettable and breathtaking view of the glacier tongue.

At the beginning of May, the suspension bridge was still dismantled. For the brave, however, you can climb across the river using a rope. From here on, it gets more difficult.

The panorama over the beautiful lake is overwhelming. Unfortunately, the glacier tongue is retreating higher and higher and will soon no longer be visible from here.
