I think we started on a private property of a castle didn’t know people still lived in castles nowdays. Regardless, the lake belongs to everyone. The entry/exit were a bit sketchy since there are cliffs on both sides of the place where I crossed but.

If you ever go, visit the Alp Hubel Rippa at the south of the lake. They have the best meringue crème double I have ever eaten.

The crossing

  • We enjoyed that meringue a bit too much and were in a rush for our bus back. So we split at the south of the lake and I ran to the east side and crossed over through the point of inaccessbility to catch the bus with no time to spare on the western bank. Clutch.

Thanks to Jeanne and Luca for coming with me on this hike and swim through the beauftiful canton of Fribourg, crossing the Röstigrabben.

The crossing

  • Cloudy, cold water and steep entry.
