View of the Hengsteysee

Highlight • Viewpoint

Partly the bike path leads over a kind of panoramic road. It feels like it was built over the lake. Really nice here.

Across the barrage of the hydroelectric power plant on Hengsteysee leads a rustic iron truss bridge. Pedestrians and cyclists can cross the lake and enjoy a wonderful view, thus continuing their journey around.
