Finally – the ramp for slow-moving traffic is currently under construction. From the end of 2026, the steep ramp next to the stairs and the artwork by Richard Serra will finally be accessible.

A leisurely, approximately 4km circular trail leads around the picturesque Schwarzsee lake – ideal for families, connoisseurs, and nature lovers. 🔹 Duration: approx. 1–1.5 hours 🔹 Elevation gain: barely noticeable, flat, and stroller-friendly 🔹 Highlights: Themed trail with legendary figures, playgrounds, barbecue areas, and a panoramic lake view 🔹 Tip: A short detour to the waterfall on the southeast shore is worthwhile! Perfect for a relaxing day trip – with a view of the Kaiseregg and surrounded by the mystical atmosphere of the Alpine foothills. 🌿🦢🪵

The Schwarzsee, also known as Lac Noir, is idyllically situated in the canton of Fribourg (Sense district) and is part of the Gantrisch Nature Park. With its deep, dark water and surrounding peaks such as Kaiseregg (2185 m), Schafberg, and Spitzfluh, the lake offers a fascinating panorama. 🌅 Highlights & Activities Surroundings & Nature: The moorland and alpine pastures surrounding the lake are rich in species – with cotton grass, reeds, coots, and dragonflies – ideal for walks and nature observation. Leisure & Recreation: The Schwarzsee is ideal for hiking, swimming, paddling (SUP), or simply lounging on the shore. Accessible for hikes or conveniently by chairlift to Riggisalp – with alpine huts and restaurants. Legends & Experiences: Themed trails with legends from the Sense region, mystical landscapes in the Breccaschlund valley, and spectacular ice palaces in winter attract visitors year-round.
