In good weather and especially on weekends, there are many people at Schwarzsee. However, the distribution is very different. While there are often many people on the Riggisalp side, it is usually very quiet on the Schwyberg side. Not least because there are hardly any places to eat on the mountain here.

Roadbook

The first short part leads along the lake to the large parking lot of the Schwarzsee campus. From here, the mountain path to Schwyberg begins. The route to the summit is not very far. Once at the top, you have a beautiful view of Schwarzsee. The even nicer picnic spot can be found if you walk another 20 minutes further, downhill again. Everything is just right here
