The Galmwald, surrounded by the communities of Gurmels, Ulmiz and Murten, forms one of the most beautiful and important contiguous forest complexes in the Seebezirk. It is unique because the forest, which is owned by the state of Fribourg, is a separate geographical municipality with no inhabitants; only the animal world lives here. In addition to the 300-year-old oaks and the sustainable use of the mixed deciduous forests, the Galmwald has a lot more to offer. For joggers, it is an ideal area for long forest runs; for barbecue fans, a cozy get-together by candlelight in the romantic Galmhütte; for nature lovers, a rich offering of flora and fauna. Church services are also held at the source of the Galmbrünnli. The diversity and beauty of the Galmwald can only be discovered and experienced on foot (driving prohibited).
