From here you have a breathtaking panoramic view of Lake Walen and the Churfirsten mountains. If the visibility is good, you can even see Lake Zurich in the distance behind Lake Walen.

Whether in summer or in winter - the view from here over Lake Walen and to the Churfirsten is simply a dream and when the fog veils the lake in autumn or winter, a completely new landscape is created.
