Sächserseeli

At 2099 m above sea level lies the Sächserseeli. It has no above-ground tributary. So it is supplied with fresh water from underground springs. Some mountain lakes have become world-famous because a well-known mountain is reflected in them. The Riffelsee near the Gornergrat, for example, where there is an upside-down Matterhorn on windless days, or the Bachsee above Grindelwald, on whose water the Schreckhorn doubles. The Sächserseeli, on the other hand, is relatively unknown. Perhaps also because the 2523-metre-high mountain Magerrain, which is reflected in the Sächserseeli, does not quite come close to the fame of its counterparts in Valais and the Bernese Oberland. Tip: Combine a visit to the Sächserseeli with a hike to the Spitzmeilenhütte and the Maadseeli below.
