Journey to the emerald lake - a photo on Flickriver

Lake Gelmer at an altitude of 1860 m is one of the most picturesque in Switzerland.
You can get to it using the cable railway from Handegg and the subsequent hiking trip. Until 2017, the opening of the Stoos funicular in Switzerland, the Gelmerbahn was the steepest in Europe (106% maximum incline).
12 minutes of almost vertical ascent in an open cable car provides a thrill, while a two-three-hour hike around the lake offers unforgettable views of its emerald waters, granite mountains, picturesque cliffs and running streams.

Путешествие к изумрудному озеру

Озеро Гельмер на высоте 1860 м - одно из самых живописных в Швейцарии.
Добраться к нему можно с помощью горного фуникулера от Хандегга и последующего пешего похода. До 2017 года, открытия в Швейцарии подъемника "Штоос," Гелмербан был самым крутым в Европе (максимальный уклон 106 %).
12 минут почти вертикального подъема в открытом вагончике фуникулера обеспечивают острые ощущения, а двух-трехчасовый поход вокруг озера дарит незабываемые виды на его изумрудные воды, окружающие гранитные горы, живописные скалы и бегущие ручьи.
