View of Bettenauer Weiher

Highlight • Lake

The Bettenauer Weiher, colloquially known as Betti, is a pond developed from a natural glacial lake west of Oberuzwil and northeast of Jonschwil.

> Biking directly around the lake is not permitted (signaling). But then you can go a little further around.

Here you can see snakes, on or in the water, presumably grass snakes (I saw about 5 almost simultaneously).

January 4, 2026,🚶‍♂️ Bettenauer Weiher - Oberuzwil 🌞

The weather is beautiful but cold. The pond is completely frozen over, but inaccessible.

A short detour to the Reformed Church in Oberuzwil, which I renovated as construction manager 10 years ago (with GoPro360 spherical footage).
