The mountain lake (natural lake) above Bad Säckingen invites visitors to take a walk or bike ride around the picturesque body of water. There's a restaurant serving food and the opportunity to ride a pedal boat. A climbing garden has also been set up at the lower end, offering great climbing fun for young and old. Various seating areas invite you to linger. The only drawback: in good weather, the countless parking spaces become scarce, which is, of course, due to the beauty of this 13-meter-deep natural lake.

Mountain Lake

Highlight • Lake

The Scheffelfelsen on the edge of the mountain lake near Bad Säckingen is reminiscent of the city's most famous son, the German poet and writer Joseph Victor von Scheffel (1826-1886). Only by bushels the name "mountain lake" came into use. Originally the mountain lake was a small pond in which monastic fish farming was practiced. His former name was "Schwarzsee".

You can climb up a small path from the lakeside to the left of the rock. There's a small seating area at the top, but the view of the lake is largely overgrown. Please note: the path down the back, away from the lake, is only accessible for the first few meters, then it falls into disrepair and is completely overgrown.

A lovingly designed recreation area by the pond. New wooden railings by the pond, high enough. New benches to rest on and enjoy the view of the pond. The large carp often swim on the surface, so you can watch them. On the other side of the dam, a small pond has been set up for the amphibians. A small paradise has been created here.
