Lake Walen

Highlight (Segment) • Lake

In Romansh, the lake is called Lag/Lac Rivaun. Accordingly, it was first documented in 843 as lacu riuano.

The German name means "Lake of the Welsch" (cf. Walchensee in Bavaria), because in the early Middle Ages, Lake Walen formed the language border between the Alemanni, who settled in the west, and the Romansh, the Welsch, in the east.

Which bather dares to go for a swing and swing into the water on his liana like Tarzan once did? :)

The tunnel is cool and a bit wet, as water is dripping from the ceiling. It's possible to go without a flashlight; if you feel more comfortable, pack one. The view from the peepholes is fantastic.

It should be noted that the way from Weesen towards Beetlis is at risk of falling rocks. A little caution is helpful at best. (see impacts in the asphalt ...)
