Description
The path leads to the lakes Stellisee, Grindjisee, Grünsee, Moosjisee and Leisee. These are all mountain lakes that are not easily forgotten. Different in shape, color, character and size, there is something completely different to discover at each lake. At Leisee it is about swimming, for the children's fun. At Grünsee the landscape shows its barren side, where larches hold their ground despite rubble and sand. Rare flowers grow at Grindjisee. And so on. Who will discover more?
