Hiking

A leisurely, approximately 4km circular trail leads around the picturesque Schwarzsee lake – ideal for families, connoisseurs, and nature lovers.

🔹 Duration: approx. 1–1.5 hours
🔹 Elevation gain: barely noticeable, flat, and stroller-friendly
🔹 Highlights: Themed trail with legendary figures, playgrounds, barbecue areas, and a panoramic lake view
🔹 Tip: A short detour to the waterfall on the southeast shore is worthwhile!

Perfect for a relaxing day trip – with a view of the Kaiseregg and surrounded by the mystical atmosphere of the Alpine foothills. 🌿🦢🪵

Hiking

The Schwarzsee circular path is a leisurely, approximately 4 km loop around the idyllic Schwarzsee in the Fribourg Prealps. With around 50 meters of elevation gain, the route is easy and well-suited for a relaxed walk – also for families.

The two sides of the lake are slightly different in terms of landscape: on the road side, there are few direct views of the lake due to the dense reeds. The opposite side, on the other hand, leads through a beautiful forest that offers pleasant shade on warm days.
