About this Stone

This breathtaking alpine lake sits at an elevation of about 2,265 meters in the Bernese Oberland, divided into two sections by a natural dam. The crystal-clear waters reflect the majestic peaks of the surrounding mountains, including the iconic Eiger, Mönch, and Jungfrau. The serene environment and stunning vistas make it a popular destination for hikers, who can reach the area via a scenic trail accessible by cable car from Grindelwald. The water is cold, but swimming is possible for the brave. The stone was hidden inside a small hut, tucked away on one of the wooden ceilings.
