Schiffenen Dam

Highlight • Monument

Top highlight to get from the dam to the Saane in Laupen. On nice weekends completely overpopulated by pedestrians, riders and bikers. So choose time off and just enjoy.

There is a great book about the formation of the Schiffenensee, with countless pictures of the Saane valley before it was flooded. verein-oskar.ch/php/schiffenensee-de.php

A very nice view over the Saane, unfortunately there are very few bridges on this hiking section along the Saane.

The river Saane is often equated with the Röstigraben, i.e. the language border between German-speaking and French-speaking Switzerland. Between the Schiffenensee, which is dammed up from the Saane, and Laupen, you cycle through a small, beautiful nature reserve.
