Here, the trail from the Längenegg Pass (Switzerlandmobile MTB Route 304) joins the Klöntal-Pragel Pass paved road. Beautiful views down to the lake and the Rosmatt Valley opposite.

A truly beautiful lake (reservoir with a largely natural dam), especially in autumn (magnificent colors).

Great place for a nice little walk or hike! Plus side: there is a bus at the end of the Lake that can take you back to the start of the Lake or down to Glarus too

A very beautiful lake, although it had very little water when I visited in May 2025. However, you could walk along the water below.

From the dam you have a wonderful view over the entire Klöntalersee and the Glärnisch flank.

Here, a wooden bridge allows you to cross the Klön, which flows further ahead into the Klöntalersee. A very idyllic spot.
