Only the name was changed for a short time, now it's back to the old name, with small changes to the shoreline, but always good for a break.

A tour to Blüemlismatt is always worthwhile. If the visibility is good, you can see the entire Alpine panorama. From Blüemlismatt, bikers can continue to the first Jura mountain range. Restaurant Blüemlismatt is closed on Mondays and Tuesdays.
