Schwarzsee circular route Häxewääg

Theme trail
Time required: 2 hoursLength: 4.12 km

Naturpark Gantrisch - The Häxewääg leads around the Schwarzsee with a detour to the waterfall. The circular route can be walked in both directions, is mostly flat with a few gentle inclines, and is suitable for strollers (exception about 5 minutes).

The legends and fairy tales from the Schwarzsee-Senseland are as popular as ever and are still told to children today. Exciting and mysterious…

What might be true in these stories? Find out. You can experience seven legends in a playful and exciting way around the Schwarzsee: from the gold hole, the black cow, the snake charm, how the Schwarzsee was created, the Hutätät, the Ankenhex and the Muggi.

But beware of the dragon! You can actually bring it to life. Then it hisses and rumbles terribly and spits "poison" at you…
