This path leads past the lakes of the Stellisee, Grindjisee, Grünsee, Moosjisee and Leisee. Each of these mountain lakes is very different in terms of shape, colour, character and size. The Leisee is good for swimming and barbequeing, Grünsee is set in slightly more rugged landscape but looks back across to Findeln and the pine forests below, for example! It is a long walk though, so pack sandwiches and get ready to paddle!
Difficulty
Moderate
Hiking along trails with some uneven terrain and small hills. Small rocks and roots may be present.
