On Trübsee you follow the tracks of the smugglers & muleteers and search for the hidden smuggled goods of Engelbert and his mule Schmuggli.

On the smuggler's playground you can let off steam and your parents can grill your sausage at the muleteer camp next door.

Author’s recommendation

In the mule camp you can use barbecue areas and wood for free. Around the lake there are environmentally friendly toilets from Kompotoi.
