The Alpnach Kolping campfire site is located directly on Lake Wichelsee and has a kettle barbecue in a beautiful covered wooden hut.

While the baked potatoes are on the grill, you can watch the ducks and swans or play catch and run around on the large meadow right next door. With a bit of luck and binoculars, you might even spot a kingfisher.

Infrastructure: tables & benches, covered fire pit with grill, wood, suitable for baby carriages
Surroundings: directly on Wichelsee, large meadow, shade
Reservation: not possible
How to get there: From Brünigstrasse or the Kägiswil Schlieren bus stop, turn into Wichelseestrasse. From the bus stop approx. 800 m.
