The Schwarzsee, also known as Lac Noir, is idyllically situated in the canton of Fribourg (Sense district) and is part of the Gantrisch Nature Park. With its deep, dark water and surrounding peaks such as Kaiseregg (2185 m), Schafberg, and Spitzfluh, the lake offers a fascinating panorama. 🌅 Highlights & Activities Surroundings & Nature: The moorland and alpine pastures surrounding the lake are rich in species – with cotton grass, reeds, coots, and dragonflies – ideal for walks and nature observation. Leisure & Recreation: The Schwarzsee is ideal for hiking, swimming, paddling (SUP), or simply lounging on the shore. Accessible for hikes or conveniently by chairlift to Riggisalp – with alpine huts and restaurants. Legends & Experiences: Themed trails with legends from the Sense region, mystical landscapes in the Breccaschlund valley, and spectacular ice palaces in winter attract visitors year-round.

Unfortunately, you can't get past it directly without taking a detour. But if you've taken the Lakes Route before, you've already seen some beautiful lakes ;-)

The Jaun Pass stands out as a road bike climb not because of its particular difficulty or gradient, but above all because of the beauty of the landscape it traverses. If you approach it from Jaun, you'll say goodbye to Fribourg and then hello to the idyllic Simmental valley. The Gastlosen mountain range also plays a very important role in the region.

Near the Gruyère lake and the Sarine, on the last non-hilly sections of the Plateau, you can see and admire the first peaks of the Alps.

This is where the two rivers meet to form the Sense (Singine). Paking right next to it and a perfect spot for picnics with your feet in the water.
