Seerundgang

Riggli Weg
High on the Riggisalp above Schwarzsee, this adventure path leads families through the world of renewable energy, guided by the dwarf character Riggli.
-
Hexenweg
The path circles the dark waters of Schwarzsee through unspoilt shoreline, shady forest sections, and open meadows, with the scenery shifting at every rise. A standout landmark is the "Schwarzsee Dragon" — forged from iron and sheet metal by a local blacksmith, it stands atop a 20-metre rock — while signboards along the way recount local fables and tales that give the route its other name: the Witches Path.
