Lake Gerzensee is privately owned. It's not possible to walk around it. From Kirchdorf, there's a dirt road that leads to a wonderful seating area.

The Gantrischseeli 🌊 in the Gantrisch Nature Park is an idyllic mountain lake at an altitude of 1,570 meters. The starting point of the hike is usually the Gantrischhütte, which can be reached in 1 to 1.5 hours. The path leads through meadows and forests 🌿. Perfect for a picnic and relaxing. Family-friendly and particularly beautiful in summer and autumn.

This small groundwater lake is a rocky desert in winter and a bathing lake in summer. It lies between the Aare and Uttigen, in a nature reserve, which is why it is also called "Uttigenseeli".
