The Flowtrail Schwarzsee offers pure biking fun in the middle of the Fribourg Prealps. With flowing corners, small waves, and dreamlike views of the Schwarzsee, the trail is perfect for those who want to combine riding pleasure and nature. Whether as a relaxed after-work loop or a sporty trail adventure – every mountain bike fan will get their money's worth here. Between Riggisalp and Schwarzsee, the trail leads through a varied landscape of forests, pastures, and impressive views of the lake and mountains. With a length of 3.6 kilometers and 427 meters of descent, the trail is classified as moderately difficult in the upper section and easy further down. A separate entrance to the lower section (Start Blau) provides families and beginners with younger children with particularly easy access. A gentle track with playfully designed obstacles ensures a smooth, relaxed riding experience on the bike. Those looking for more action will find additional, technically more demanding elements along the route. These are deliberately designed so that less experienced riders can easily bypass them at any time via a "Safe Line".

There is water. And people. And cows. An asphalt road leads up over the Gantrischli.

I enjoy La Berra in both winter and summer, but there's a but. A dirt track should be built or redone, without the large rocks and ruts towards Cousimbert.
