Hiking

The primeval landscape of Breccaschlund, formed by glaciers, is fascinating. On this 14-kilometer circular hike, you will explore the mysterious landscape. In addition to varied paths, an alpine pasture awaits you at the highest point of the tour for a rest.

From Schwarzsee, you can easily reach Riggisalp by chairlift, the starting point of your tour. Here, above Schwarzsee, you walk along a high-altitude path past imposing limestone walls. Below the path, you can now see the Breccaschlund plain. The paths themselves are also exciting, alternating between stony paths, wooden stairs and forest paths.

In the deepest section of Breccaschlund, when you have already conquered the highest point of the tour, you will find Alp Combi, where you can rest and regain your strength. From here, it is a steady downhill walk. On the descent, you will experience the primeval landscape in all its fascination. You will also be able to see the Schwarzsee, shimmering in dark tones, on the last few kilometers. Once you arrive in the town of the same name, you have completed your hiking tour.

Alphütte Combi

Highlight • Mountain Hut

This rustic alpine hut lies deep in what appears to be the furthest corner of the Brecca Gorge. Here it is still and quiet, you can only hear the clucking of the chickens and the ringing of the bells that hang around the necks of cattle and cows. From time to time a few chamois and marmots drop by.

Lake Schwarzsee

Highlight • Lake

The Schwarzsee is located in the Senseland in the canton of Fribourg. It is always very nice to be here. The lake has its own special charm that is difficult to describe.

The weather is finally getting better! Today's hike starts at Riggisalp. You can reach it from Schwarzsee for 14 Swiss francs, saving you quite a bit of walking. The hike is varied – narrow paths, wide trails, wonderfully blooming alpine meadows, and barren rock formations.
...and lots of people😅. There are also several places to stop for refreshments along the …

This beautiful hike follows SwitzerlandMobility Trail 267 and is described in detail here: schweizmobil.ch/de/wanderland/route-267. I was traveling in the other direction (better more up than down 😉).
The Brecca Gorge is an extremely impressive, barren glacier landscape. The paths are partly easy, especially in the first half, and partly quite challenging. You definitely have to be sure-footed.
My first tour …

Day off – or in other words "Home is nice too" 😎

Fantastic view on the Schopfenspitz. 😍 Only the last few 100m before the summit are steep uphill. But it is worth it and you will be greeted by sheep shortly before the summit. 😁

Came home from work a little early to clear my head with a brisk walk about the past few days.

On the trail of his last breath. Memorial round for a kind-hearted friend who died of cardiac arrest last Saturday on a mountain hike in the Breccaschlund 🥺. Despite immediate resuscitation by companions, First Responder Plus and finally the Rega, …

Today I wanted to know more about what this Komoot movement time is all about. In addition to the smartphone recording, my Garmin Forerunner 935 GPS watch was also at the start. The plan was to hike a tour that I was very familiar with, as quickly as possible, without major obstacles, of course without breaks of any kind and …

Yes, there are some who didn't have a holiday today and were only able to do something later 🤨

On this tour there are many opportunities to stop off and sometimes you can even stay overnight 🙄. E.g. in:
- Alp Unter Bödeli
- Alp Combi
- with additional loop Alp Grand-Chalet (Gran Saalì)
- Alp Cerniets (Schärnì)
- Alp …

After-work tour through different seasons.

I set off at 4:30 a.m. from the Gypsera Schwarzsee parking lot with a moderate breeze. Luckily, the ambient temperature was quite high, otherwise I might have frozen a little in the cold wind. I was wearing shorts. On my tour through the Breccaschlund, I hiked back to the end of February. At least as …
