Hiking
The Kaiseregg is one of the main peaks of the Friborg Pre-Alps and offers panoramas worthy of romantic paintings! It is therefore not surprising that this hike attracts many adventurers.
A little anecdote to set the tone: the name of the summit is due to a confusion... Literally the "corner of the emperor", the name of the summit would have been in fact "Käseregg", or "corner of the cheese maker". It makes more sense in a region that has never known an emperor but where artisanal cheese production reigns!
From Schwarzsee, take the chairlift to reach the Riggisalp plateau. You then chain the alpine huts to the crest of the Kaiseregg, to the main pass. Then the return is downhill to Schwarzsee.

Brother Klaus Church, Schwarzsee
Highlight • Religious Site
With a legacy from Leo Offner in 1938, who appointed the parish of Plaffeien as the main heir with the determination of the construction of a Catholic church in the Schwarzseetal, the first financial cornerstone for the construction was planned. But it needed other patrons and countless helpers to realize the church building. Long discussions and meetings were necessary to determine the location.
The canonization of Brother Klaus at this time made it easier to determine the patron saint of the church. However, it took a full 36 years until the Brother Klaus Church at Schwarzsee was inaugurated in 1966.

Today was my first ascent of the Kaiseregg Pass this season. As is typical for May, I had to avoid a few switchbacks in the lower section of the Kaiseregg Pass. These switchbacks are always filled with a meter-high layer of snow for a long time. The sun barely …

The bag, or rather the contents, are collected trash from people who forgot that you really shouldn't leave anything behind in nature. 😉

After it had rained a bit yesterday until late evening, not like a deluge elsewhere, I didn't know exactly how muddy and slippery the hiking trails in the mountains would look today. The warm summer rain, perfect for dancing in, was urgently needed, as the neighboring municipality had …

Today I started very late to climb to a summit. Only set off at 10 am and the thermometer was already scratching the 20°C mark at 1050m. But since it was merely the local mountain of Schwarzsee and I can manage the route …
