It may be nothing special for someone, but for others it is something special every day. Whoever keeps their eyes and soul open will always find something to find, to observe, to admire. If you have time to stop and enjoy the atmosphere, to observe the reflections on the water, to find fish in the Aare, to catch a glimpse of a duck family, to observe the bank plants - the diverse life all around... And it is a pleasure to be able to and be allowed to be here!

The Kaiserbucht is a beautiful, somewhat quieter spot directly on the Schluchsee. The clear water and wooded shores provide a real Black Forest feeling – perfect for a break on your MTB tour and, on warm days, also for a cool-down.

A magnificent viewpoint over the Schluchsee with the wooded Black Forest heights in the background. Perfect for a short break on the MTB tour – especially in clear weather, the lake shows its most beautiful side here.
