    At Trübsee, you follow the tracks of smugglers and saumers and search for the hidden smuggler goods of Engelbert and his mule Schmuggli.

    At the smuggler playground, you let off steam while your parents grill your sausage at the nearby saumer camp.

    Author’s recommendation

    At the saumer camp, you can use barbecue spots and wood free of charge. Environmentally friendly toilets by Kompotoi are available around the lake.
