Beautiful mountain lake in the middle of the Alpstein, with a panorama that couldn't have been created better on the computer. Free-roaming cows, bright green sparkling water, cheese dairy, alphorn players... what more could you want?

Section between Messmer and Seealpsee

Highlight • Trail

The path from Seealpsee to Mesmer is not exactly promising and therefore I would choose the path more down the valley, so you have the view of the Seealpsee in mind.

Mesmer Mountain Inn

Highlight • Mountain Hut

At the Mesmer there is a great panoramic view down to the Seealpsee, direction Schäfler and Säntis. Restaurant with traditional dishes, e.g. just Rösti with sausage, and with terrace for dining or just to stay with a Suure Moscht.
