Schwarzsee Witch's Trail

The idyllic Friborg region of the Sense region with its majestic mountain backdrop and gently rolling hills is steeped in legend. On a wonderfully designed hike around the enigmatic Schwarzsee (Black Lake means black lake), hikers of all ages will suddenly find themselves surrounded by mythical creatures, forest animals myths, forest animals and the magical interference between man and nature.

The adventure trail is primarily aimed at kids, but it offers an unforgettable picnic for the whole family. Follow the 25 guides around the coast to find signs with local legends written on them. Curiosity and imagination are all it takes to discover a fun, unexpected theme at each stop.

A day picnic turns into an exciting adventure on the Wizarding Trail. Creatively designed signs introduce visitors to “Puggelimandli”, known as “Muggi”, a mystical night hunter “Hutätä”, a man with a gray beard and a black bull. The wilderness makes life miserable for the Alpine people.

The highlight of the adventure trail is the story of the formation of Lake Schwarzsee. A mighty dragon, according to legend, was banished to the lake by a brave settler.

Agile climbers can balance their way along suspension bridges, crawl over tubes and slide down slides. The water play area invites children to swim, cool off, splash, build dams and pans for gold. The recreational design of the short walks makes it seem effortless even to weary little feet.

The Witch Trail begins and ends next to the Gypsera Restaurant. Trail markers and informative signage lead hikers on a magical expedition along the coast.

The picturesque area around Lake Schwarzsee captivates visitors with its green meadows, unspoiled beauty and fairy-tale forests, making it an ideal place to relax in nature. The warm fire pits along the lakeshore are great for picnics and barbecues.
