Lungerersee

Highlight • Lake

Gliding comfortably on the lake by pedal boat or more dynamically with speed over the lake and cutting the waves: the water sports leave nothing to be desired.

The Wild Dundelsbach Waterfall

Highlight • Waterfall

The unique two-step waterfall carries the national protection status. From a small trickle to a roaring brown stream, it sometimes takes only a few minutes.

Wiesen Trail 🚵‍♂️

Highlight • Trail

From Sädel, you can head directly towards Lungern. There's no interruption, no rock face, a continuous path. The map error was corrected in 2025.

Super Alpbeiz. Friendly service, large menu, magnificent panorama. Buy cheese directly here, at the Volgladen in Giswil or order online.

Panoramastrasse section Giswil 👀 🤩 👀

Highlight (Segment) • Viewpoint

A section of the path which is rightly called the Panorama Road. Unfortunately a lot of traffic at the weekend.

All good things come in threes 🚵‍♂️🌞🍀🥇🔨💝

On the third attempt, I perfected this tour so much that it became an absolute highlight for us. Thanks to the many trees and bushes that provide shade, we easily managed the steep starting ramp. 🍀 Yes, that's right, we were given a imperial welcome in Kaiserstuhl with a mega panorama. 🤩 On …

There was a lot of traffic on the Panoramastrasse today. Because crossing often does not work, the cars 🚗 and motorcycles 🏍 are not so fast on the road. We could still enjoy the gigantic panorama.

The next time I'll try the old Mörlistrasse from the "Kleinteil" district (driving ban for motorbikes and cars, steep?).

I've ridden this tour a few times or have had to turn around below the Fluonalp from time to time because of too much snow!
The weather conditions were not ideal today either, as thunderstorms were announced from noon... The goal was to be on the Sädel before the rain showers. There was hardly any visibility due to fog! No …

Sometimes things don't go as planned and sometimes even worse than expected. We start in Giswil in oppressively warm weather and come back sodden and with cold fingers.
The steep ascent to the Fluonalp is tough and required me to use even the smallest gears. The rustic Fluonalp-Beizli tempts you to stop in, but time was of the essence, because …
