Top 18 Lakes around Plaffeien

A beautiful spot on the Schwarzsee circular trail is the observation tower in the Pürrena area. The tower is not particularly high and is easily accessible via a short staircase. At the top, there is a beautiful view over the Schwarzsee and the surrounding mountain landscape. Especially because on the circular trail, due to the reeds, you don't have a direct view of the lake everywhere, the short detour is particularly worthwhile.

great view over the entire Schwarzsee

At the artificial lake of Montsalvens, in the Gruyère region of Switzerland, on the 9 km loop, you will encounter a 60 meter long suspension bridge which will enhance your run and offer you a breathtaking view of the lake.

Nice trail midweek, Sat + So many hikers

Impressive hanging back

The route from Obergestele via Puur to Seebergsee is only for experienced E-MBT drivers

If the 4km loop around the lake is too short for you or you want to hike a little without all the hustle and bustle, here is an alternative. The lake tour can also be perfectly extended with the loop around Rohrmoos at the entrance to Schwarzsee. This addition is very rarely used by visitors. To do this, walk up the street next to the SchwarzseeStärn restaurant at the Gypsera car park, where you have a fantastic view of the lake. After 1.3km (from Gypsera), at Schlossisboden, near the house, take the dirt road to the right down, following the yellow hiking trail markings, towards the Burstera residential area. About half of this 400-meter dirt road is not suitable for strollers due to large stones. At the Burstera district, you come back onto a road and as soon as you get to the bottom, turn left to take the loop around Rohrmoos and then follow the hiking trail along the Sense back to the Gypsera car park. A very worthwhile additional loop with little hustle and bustle ;-) There is also food and drink directly on the route. The Jailhouse Rohr restaurant serves delicious burgers and more. The restaurant is only open in the winter season (from the beginning of December to the end of March), the rest of the year it is a rental space. At the health center there is the "fein & sein" where you are also well looked after and a beautiful terrace invites you to linger. Length of the additional loop Schlossisboden including Rohrmoos 4.5 km with 123 meters of elevation. Length of the additional loop Schlossisboden but without Rohrmoos 2.8 km with 111 meters of elevation. Length of the additional loop Rohrmoos but without the route and elevation above Schlossisboden and without the top view over Schwarzsee: 3.5 km with only 35 meters of elevation. This variant is completely suitable for strollers but the first 800 meters of hiking trail directly along the Sense to Rohrmoos also take you back to the Gypsera car park. Halfway through the walk around Rohrmoos there is also a playground, picnic table and public toilet 😊

The lake tour can also be perfectly extended with the tour around the Rohrmoos. At the Gypsera car park, walk up the street next to the SchwarzseeStärn restaurant, where you have a beautiful view of the lake. At Schlossisboden then back down in the direction of the Burstera residential area, then the tour around the Rohrmoos and along the hiking trail along the Sense back to the Gypsera car park. Very worthwhile additional loop with little hype ;-)
