About the route

One way from Blauherd past Stellisee, Grindjisee, Grünsee, Moosjisee and Leisee to Sunnegga.

Grindjisee has a rich moorland flora with rare flowers, and on the way across to Grünsee the path crosses a former glacier area. Moosjisee is a reservoir fed by glaciers; its water is used to generate power and make artificial snow. Swimming is allowed only in Leisee and Grünsee unless signs say otherwise, and at Leisee there are picnic facilities and a children's playground.
