The small but nice swimming area is located almost at the level of the small Schwanau Island on a small peninsula. In summer, bathers/picnickers or stand-up paddlers (SUP) operate from early to late.

October 9, 2024,🇨🇭 Durch das Naturschutzgebiet Sägel-Schutt und um den Lauerzersee

We spend two days as a stopover in the "Wilhem-Tell-Land" at the "Lauerzersee" near Schwyz. Today we walked around the lake in beautiful weather, always keeping an eye on the "Rigi, the Queen of the Mountains" and the "Kleiner and Großer Mythen".

The boggy "Sägel-Schutt" nature reserve is beautiful.
