This is the Schwarzsee
The Schwarzsee is located in the west of Switzerland in a hilly part of the canton of
Fribourg known as the Senseland. The wonderful natural surroundings and the many leisure activities make the Schwarzsee a popular destination.
Discover the Schwarzsee
When you first catch sight of the Schwarzsee, you will be amazed by the whale fin emerging from the water and the impressive dragon on the
circular lakeside trail. On warmer days, the Schwarzsee is perfect for bathing, angling, stand-up paddle boarding or pedalo rides. In winter, on the other hand, when the ice is thick enough, you can try ice skating or take a walk to the brightly lit
ice palaces. The region around the Schwarzsee offers fantastic hiking trails with flower-filled meadows and steep mountainsides. In winter, you can get out and about on
snowshoes, exploring the untouched natural surroundings.
Riggisalp
You can reach the Riggisalp below the Schafberg from the Schwarzsee by chair lift. Watch how cheese is made on an open fire in an alp dairy. Hike or bike to the Euschelspass, towards Kaiseregg or venture into the wild
Brecca Valley. Fortify yourself with delicious local produce from an alpine farm. Whizz down into the valley on a
monster scooter or, in winter, ride a sled from the Riggisalp.
Brecca’s primeval landscape
Imposing rock faces, interspersed with alpine pastures ringed by dry stone walls and shady maple trees – the
primeval landscape of Brecca. No wonder this is considered one of the most beautiful alpine valleys in Switzerland. Take strength from nature’s beauty and, with a bit of luck, you might spy marmots, chamois or golden eagles. Traditional dishes are served in the mountain huts along the way.
