Sächserseeli

At 2099 m above sea level lies the Sächserseeli. It has no above-ground inflow. It is therefore supplied with fresh water from underground springs. Some mountain lakes became world-famous because a
well-known mountain is reflected in them. The Riffelsee near the Gornergrat, for example, in which 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 this is also because the 2523-metre-high Magerrain mountain, which is reflected in the Saxon Sea, 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.
