Der See des Hohen Nordens

Bütgenbach

Come to the borders of the eastern cantons and get a taste of adventure: the trails are the soul of this country. The north wind quickly dispels the last wafts of mist.

Excellent weather is on the horizon: The blue of the sky will be reflected on the clear waters of the lake. Along its shores, the path offers you a view of unspoiled nature. In summer, beaches here and there will tempt you to take a dip in the cool water... A little further on, a beautiful wooden path leads to the Holzwarche nature reserve.

This area is a rare example of a hilly meadow that only develops at an altitude of over 500 meters. Alpine plants such as the bear's bane or the black knapweed can be found there. After a slight ascent, which offers you a beautiful view over the lake, the Warche, which flows into the lake, is reminiscent of a Canadian river. This is especially true in winter, when the water often freezes at the mouth of the river. In the labyrinth of forests and lake, these 10 kilometers will inspire you.
