This fish-rich lake invites you to take a break on the south side of Stockhorn.

Beauty above, water below. Beneath Stockhorn, this pretty mountain lake surrounded by forest and pasture nestles in a natural alpine hollow. It takes about 45 minutes to reach the water from the Chrindi station of the Stockhorn cable car. Amateur anglers also get their money's worth here at 1665 m (5460 ft.) above sea level.
